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.
By no means, I find it wonderful now that we have a crisis board for people to display their cries for help. But now that we have one for people to post their Humor, fun and games, and off topic stuff, really whats left for the general discussion? How many times can we post that lithium makes me groggy or that I lack a sex drive, or that I have too much of one? And now that I think of it, what is the topic that we are allegedly off of when post scrutinized material on the main board?
-A side note, this rambling post is actually suppose to be viewed as satirical and ironic, not an actual rant :D Although now that I think of it, does that mean that this post is off topic and should be bumped to humor? Also, what is off topic anyway.......

There are lots of new things in the works that just take time, the CL's talk about it regularly to try and put the pressure on engineering and Admin. to get them going. A lot is just a hurry up and wait game but changes are coming for the better.
We really appreciate input on new ideas that we get from members like you Chuggs and welcome any new Ideas.
I will be watching this post just to see if any new ones come up. =)
anyway..there was this comment as if individuals own experiences weren't "relevant"...Like we shouldn't even make such comment amongst each other.
I'm sorry..are these further guidelines...OBVIOUSLY med changes are something between you & pdoc...but since when can others in the trenches give word of their own experience??
I think it perfectly "appropriate" (ugh, Therapspeak, yes) for us all to talk about this kinda thing...why not? Grassroots information can be invaluable, I've found..& to realise others go through similar stuff.
Just don't think the "Big Daddy" vibe & tut-tutting is needed, helpful or open minded, really.
hands up from people who think the crisis board is working.
my challenge? take a look at it ::chirp, chirp::
and moving posts?
uhhhhhh...can we say unnecessary confusion...?
unless they're removed for seriously inappropriate content...
what's the point, exactly...?
i think somebody is getting seriously OCD out there re: this board.
and as somebody with a pretty bad case of it myself...
dang...i gotta say...
know when to start up some cbt ;>
oh. and pleeeeease don't move this to the rant section...
xoxooxox,
beep.
There should be more leeway for different stripes ...everything can't be a regimented, frankly.
it's got me wondering if we're going to hold a seminar for each and every new member now...? and what about for returning members or members who don't visit very often.
even i don't know if i'm keeping up and i'm here most every day...but not always on the main board...
hey. here's an oldie but a good'un from my days in user interface design: KISS...anybody...?
xoxoxo.
(a side note, please dont convey this as humor and therefore move stick it on some other board. I was merely heckling Lou2 who had brought a good BOARD APPROPRIATE point in order encourage kinship between member. The humor was in my opinion incidental and a byproduct of comradery. Thank you)
