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.
There are a number of reasons.
First, with all that has been going on with me and within my head, I don't feel that I've been able to contribute much to either this group or "Beyond Medication".
Secondly, as most people know, my partner shares this site and there are many times I would like to post here and do not feel comfortable doing so because I don't want her to know what's going on inside my head. (hell, it's scary enough I know).
Thirdly, I have tried on a couple of occasions to share things on here and have been told how wrong I was for having feelings by my partners friends. For example I recently wrote about feeling very alone because I have no family and was greeted by " You have your partner don't you, how does she feel about this"?
I haven't made up my mind yet as I feel a obligation to my group "Beyond Medication" but my turn that over to the Administrators after speaking with them.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
What about keeping wiccan for the Beyond Medication group (when you're up to it) and creating a new private account to discuss whatever you need or want to??
I would hate to see you leave sweetie.. You are such a valued member here...xoxo
I can see how challenging it would be to share DS with your sidekick. I'm sure feeling compelled to hold back sorta lessens your experience here. Know that none of us demand or expect any particular level of contribution or participation. We're all just doing the best we can.
We will all respect your decision but I'm hoping you can find a way to stay.
You have to do what is best for you - do you two have any house rules on what is ok to share on the board? I have supported both of you, but it was very uncomfortable a few times... I imagine its a hard choice!!!
You have to do what is right for YOU - we do care about your feelings : )
Just a trial vacation. No 'account closing' involved.
(No peeking, though!!!)
Can't you stay on but just confine yourself to your sub-group, if this board is the only spot causing you some discord?
Maybe staying off of this board will enable you to contribute more to your other group.
I would hate to see you go
comforting hugs

and i think you maybe looking at it wrong... open up to it and read it again with an open heart and see that yes it may be painful but ...you have chosen a new family... and you must fight to make it the foundation of what you do have... use it to grow... sit down and work this out with tats...
you too should a positive force here at the boards... and you both have been...
swallow that pride ... and use this to turn it around into a good thing...
dont run away from it... bring it together and work as a team...
idk- I think it's wrong for anyone to tell someone else they are wrong when they are trying to work through their feelings good-bad or indifferent.
That is what I would do, if my husband wanted to join.
About people who criticize you for what you are thinking and feeling...just ignore them.
For all I know...it could have been me...and perhaps I already am on ignore.
I hope you find health and peace whatever you choose.
