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.

Sorry you're feeling trapped. To avoid that feeling I switch it up. Do something, anything, different. Doesn't have to be big .... just take a walk in a new area or an area you haven't been in a while. Try something completely new for dinner.
What's all this goo that's trapping you? Can you get rid of it in some way?
This movie never fails
The trapped feel--
that sinking of the stomach,
the subtle knowledge that all is not right with the world
the blue pill or the red-they said
we aren't sure
That trapped feel
like you know the truth-that you just can change him
you know-
the handicap won't go away
That trapped feel
that weaves and heaves with us at each mile of life
we succomb
to the power of the Beast that trudges to Bethlehem
But low
the dawn comes
and we
come forth
and crisis-that great wheel of yin and yang
will change
our destinies
forever.

Poem by Achala
I have to stay where I am physically, because I am Co-Conservitor of my Mom. It's my job right now, to see that she is taken care of .
Mentally, I also feel trapped..because I am trapped physically .
And thinking about where I will end up, after this is all over...that makes me panic...and feel trapped.
I do little things, like go out for coffee, or out to lunch...these little things help me feel untrapped
DS, makes me feel untrapped
