Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I have been out of work since Jan. First of all I'd been living on savings, so it's been alright. I've carefully planned things, and to be honest, I finally got some housing assistance. I'm not going to be ashamed because I have worked hard ever since I had kids. I've lived in homeless shelters because my undiagnosed BP affected my judgement and choices. I have lost (quit) jobs because of the way my emotions have messed with me. Unfortunately I've gotten a reputation for just being emotionally stupid, a basket case, a train wreck..whatever I've been called them all.
My son as Asperger's. Which basically means he throws severe tantrums every single day.My 12 year old daughter just got out of a 2 week stay at a hospital for being bp. I cried every time I visted her....because these were the people that told me I did the right thing. They complimented me on my parenting decision....I have no one in my life that is good to me like that.
I did go on a job interview this week. They put me through the ringer. I think that they called my boss and basically found out about my moods. I'm glad I didn't get it ...but still am so afraid that this will follow me the rest of my life.
Could really use a friend.:)

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
