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.
Good morning kiddies!!
How is every little thang this morn? I am doing great besides a tad of anxiety, but it shall get better. And if it don't, I will take a Vistaril. I feel a little better today than yesterday. Thank god. So what are yall doing today? I am sitting here in a moderate amount of pain, but still good emotionally-chatting and on the phone and such; waiting on the babe to get up.
Have an appt. today at 1:30 to do Dillon's IEP (individual education plan) so he can begin schooling and rehab for his pervasive developmental disorder. He was dx'd that a few weeks ago. It is in the broad spectrum of the autism disorders. I am choosing to make this a positive experience for him and for us. I will not see the bad.
My daughter, Aerial, that is 17, has likely had it all these years and we never knew and she is a senior in high school. She has grown a lot over the years though she is a bit emotionally immature. I always have been too though. Maybe that is part of the bipolar and I have always had it. What do yall think?
I hope everyone has a wonderful day-heavenly even. That's one place I can't wait to be, but I have work still left to do on this ole earth so I guess I will hang around til the Good Lord calls me home. Nuff said!! Ruff!! lol.
Chow for now
with love & hugs,
Me.

My middle son-who-lives-with-me is diagnosed with aspbergers syndrome, the high functioning autism. He went through school with IEPs and lots of support from school staff. I can deal with the autism since he's a sweet guy but with autism he also has the prevalent retinitis pigmentosa and is slowly going blind. (for the last 17 years) No treatment. I hope this is something yoiui mange to avoid because it IS very hard to take. It took 5 years to get his autism diagnosis... Yes, we must look for the silver lining in all of life even if we have to put a lot of energy into looking!
I don't think emotional immaturity is part of BP. Many things come from somewhere else even though it'd be convenient to blame them all on BP.
I'll settle for a mediocre day. If my day were too heavenly I'd worry about my mood elevating!
I'm dieting...same as always. Struggling with the battle with food and exercise. My friend is going to the hospital (psych) and her daughter is in some dire need of some help with all she's going through with her Mom (my friend). So I'm praying for her, and answering any questions I can for her. The kidlets are at school, and other than that, my schedule is clear!
Hey Tommy!! It sure is tiring sometimes. When depressed I am unable to think of those things though. It's always think the worst of yourself and the world then. SIGH. Can't be perfect all the time can we?? lol. I strive to be, but fall way short I know. I guess the important thing is to keep on trying. Good day to you Tommy!! Hugs.
(Is that how you spell it? Dude I have no idea)
ZANY I FREAKING WUV YOU! I'd hate to ponder what these boards would be like without your smiley face and happy happy words! I hope your sons app goes well, hopefully it isnt too stressful for you and your little dude (ps love the name Dillon, my nephews name is Dylan!)
Well seeing as its 2:31am im thinking I should hit the hay sometime soon, i have a fantastic book calling me, i can hear it yelling at me PLEASE TAKE OUT THE BOOK MARK AND REEEEAAAD ME YOU CRAZY AWAKE BITCH.
I'm hoping tomorrow I get some writing done. The story im working on now ive been writing for months now. But I have serious writers block from all this crappy depression, and not having my glasses for a few weeks didnt help. But i have shiny new glasses and a shiny new outlook on my writing. SO its gonna happen tomorrow, im convinced!!!
Hope your all well and happy today
RUFF!
