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.
As CL's AcouriousFish and I are trying to get an informative introduction together about the BP site. I would love your input on things that you think people should know about our BP group that makes it different from other places on DS and things that would help out new members.
Please feel free to contribute your ideas as it is your site too and what would you like newbies to know?

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort.

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
Will you be including Chuggs emergency post as well?
And do you know how far off we are from getting "sticky posts"?
Thx for your hard work....greatly appreciated! Bobbi
The latest post on a thread should show up at the top of a thread, rather than, as it is now, the first post.
There are BP boards that don't let you post anything except crisis posts.
A link of basic references for BP would be good. Then we don't have to write out BP 101 info and take up a big chunk of space. Keep it nice and clean.
I think having a link to programs that can help you get your meds if you're broke would be great too.
(answers..the google thing is a DS policy of providing support to anyone including non members....counter idea..I think that one is in the workstack...reversing the thread order, I can pass that one on as that's new...re videos..I think pics and videos are still a problem they are trying to sortt out)
But what we can do is to include a good section on suicide on the information page and by setting up the crisis board and encouraging people, where appropriate to share info.
