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.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
