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.
Well this one certainly seems to be working for me. Its still a little early but I can feel a difference in this one. My Dr. has me taking 600mgs a day. One in the morning and two at night. Im really really hoping this one works just because I dont want to go on Lithiem. I talked to my mom about it (shes bipolar too) and she said NOT to get on it. So we shall see. I see my Dr. again on Nov 17th, then I am getting a new Dr. cause shes going on maternaty leave. Im kinda scared to see what this new ones going to be like. I dont open up easily and if I get a bad vibe from this one Im not going to talk to them. My days arnt AS bad as they were with the others. I am actually kinda evened out. Im not sure if I can hold down a job yet though.. I am really scared about that. I need to do something though. I cant NOT have an income. I just simply cannot afford it.

well I was working and I lost my job. I was in a mental hospital and when I was released my Dr wanted to keep me outta work for 3 months and I couldnt afford it. I went back I think a month and a half early. (this was in may) I ended up losing my job the 29th of sept. I cant afford to not work. I dont know what to do because I am having a hard time trying to find a job.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
