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.
On Monday I was in an up mood so I rang round a few friends and invited them over for coffee and cake on Thursday afternoon.
Tuesday I went into a flat spin, convinced I couldn't do it. I was panicking, shaking and wanted to cancel. This from someone who has organised functions for 150 people at a time!
Anyway I took one day at a time, bought some nice cakes, cleaned the house as much as I could and waited for the bell to ring at 2.00pm.
5 of my friends came and we had a lovely 2 hours chatting in Swiss german and English. The Swiss always bring gifts so I got flowers, brownies, a table centre and a candle.
I felt really elated after they had gone and although I know tomorrow I will probably sleep all day, I feel I have taken a huge step forward.

Some crazy person is telling people on this website that I killed myself. I am, in fact, doing quite well, in case anyone knows me from before and was worried.Xoxo Halter

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
