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.

I understand, though.....I do.
As far as having a partner, I agree with 4The Bulls. You can have one and still feel alone. I do sometimes and I've been with mine for 23 years.
I hope you decide to stay even if you don't post for awhile. You can "lurk" in the background and maybe find some things helpful or amusing.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
