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 does it mean to you, in terms of DS?
i read many posts of upset poeple, not getting the "support" they need.
i frankly, just don't understand.
to me there are different realms of support... varieing from friendships to crisis centers.
DS, i feel is in the friendship realm, for me anyway.
Are we to be a crisis center for those in need as well? I for one, am not qualified for that job? Do you feel that is our responsibility? Do you expect your fellow DS mates to come through for you in that way?

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
We're friends here... and we try to help them, any way we can. We never give up hope that we can help them get out of the bowels of hell. We try...bottom line!
Yes we are a crisis center for those in our need and that does not bother me.
As a student nurse i feel it is my duty to listen to those around me and try my best to help them.
I expect no more from others on DS than I can give. Being human and BP, those expectations vary daily. I take in the good, overlook the bad, and at the end of the day, always find myself feeling two ways: Grateful for having been here, and eager to return! Much Love~

It's like extra lung-space.People are refreshingly open and understanding too.
That's all.I prefer not to think about further labels.
