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 am chemically stable. Which means the emotions I'm feeling at this point are valid and rational. I am confused. I am hurt. I am a little scared. I feel a bit disheartened. Over a year ago I stated my wanting to work towards being a psychiatrist. I am now heartbroken and a bit crest fallen. A woman put the death blow to any true trust I can have with me, and damaged my dream. I'm still going for being a Pdoc, but a hiccup with financial aid wont allow that to happen until at least spring.
I guess the point of this post is to tell you that you shouldn't be afraid of your emotions and assume that if you have them that they are automatically a fit of Bipolar residue.

I lost my old job a little over a week ago (I have a new one now - not exactly what I want but beggars can't be chooses).
I cried and cried for days and my pdoc just said oh well, no amount of medication will make you feel better.
I'm over the mourning period, guess I have to pick up the pieces, dust myself off, and keep moving forward.
I cherish my real feelings good or bad
I can't help but believe that tendency not to rely on my feelings allowed me to cope so well with this illness and accomplish so much when I was younger.
