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.
My doctor recently told me that in my level of depression that the only way to fight it is through activity and being busy.I took his advice and applied for a back to work program that lasts one year.I don't feel good and am concerned about my ability to follow this program.I have been in a depression for a year and a half now and haven't worked in two and a half years.
I don't know if I'm being too optimistic in thinking that the activity of this program will make me feel better.I worry that I may always be unwell and in depression.I've also applied for low income housing and plan to move back out of my parent's place.I am asking myself if I will ever be well.What if I'm wasting my time and things don't get better.What if I can't complete this program and go back to work.My doctor said the only treatment now is activity which leaves it all up to me and I find thst hard with the way that I'm feeling.
