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 can't help but still be irate over a thread that was posted last night.
It singled out one of our members and the thread poster had even said that this board had lost all credibility due to this one member.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I should even post this thread or not, but it just really pisses me off when threads are started and single out members in a negative way.
So...if you haven't got something nice to say, SHUT UP AND DON'T POST IT.
disclaimer: I'm not entirely myself, so I can't really decide whether it's a good idea or not to post this...please tell me if I'm out of line.

Continue to stick up for your friends and members. hugs
But this one, it didn't just attack this one member (which was bad enough), it attacked our whole community.
I'm much more irritable than usual, and I partook in the thread briefly. It's just really pissing me off for some reason.
1) Is it truthful?
2) Is it kind?
3) Is it necessary?
Using these as a guideline have served me well and reminded me of each person's intrinsic value.
(((LIL))) "bah to naysayers" love it. haha.
i think it's beautiful when others stick up for people who cant stick up for themselves---there's beauty in that==and u have done that and we can see it---and that's the beauty
great looking out girl!

A couple moved in and one of the "nosey" neighbors found out he had amolestation charge against him. She spread the word to the whole neighborhood.
There was no mention of when, what the charge actually involved, or how long ago... nothing.
I am completely against such things, most certainly, but without proof, or details, how am i to judge? Did you know that juries have found teenagers in high school guilty of molestation? Based on the fact that one was 18 and the other 16 and they had intimate relations? Anyway, the guy lost his girlfriend, job, and any chance he had of starting over... based on something that was never proven to be true, or even researched properly. Now that neighbor is avoided by everyone for fear that she might point the proverbial finger at them.
I guess my point is, accusations are harmful... not only to the person being accused, but to those that do the accusing. I try not to judge someone based on other people's opinions.
