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.
What do you do when you feel yourself start to fall? Because I'm going down that path. I don't want to, but as I'm sure you know, it's difficult to stop. I'm back to seeing my therapist once a week. I'm seeing my doctor at least once a month. But I'm feeling old habits start to haunt me again. I know that I'm in trouble, but I don't know what to do. What do you do?

When I feel myself start to "fall", I get as much support as possible from the onstart. It may be off of this site, from family, from friends. I see my psychologist once a week and go with the flow. Worrying about it gets me nowhere, it only worsens my situation. Hope it helps you out somehow! :) Love, jess

Felt like that too. Wait for answers. They will come. Try to cry out for help. I had a hard day when I should'nt have. I have many of hard working angels you can share them if you like. Try doing something positive for at least a mon if you can. Just kepp reading the good book. God is love. He is all around and watching to give help as needed. Can only say if you truly believe repent and ask for help,it will come. Sometimes in ways we don't always know.

I have started to recognize the "slippery slope" when it starts. I run hard and exercise. If that doesn't work, I call my Doc. I think I am the only patient with his cell phone number! He always seems to know what to do. Hope that helps a little. Everyone is different and we all need to find our own methods of coping. You have accomplished the hardest part by recognizing the signals. Good luck.
