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.
I am a crazy, old mother with all the challenges of CPTSD and bi-polar. I share my home with a mostly uncommunicative son and daughter-in-law. Every time I read a thread about someone evicting toxic people from their lives, I wonder if that is why they treat me like a hotel clerk.
Paranoia?
Paranoia?
I spoke to my cousin on an unrelated matter awhile ago and all I can say is just that you have to take care of yourself. She said that to me--that we have to take care of our own health.
There are ways to love people from a distance and sometimes that is how we have to do things-send a card or just have a 30 minute visit but just kind of keep to ourselves and our own friends.
Like my dad--I don't hate my dad--My dad is a GOOD man. And, I APPRECIATE the fact that his partner has cared for dad all these years and she's really sweet and it is great--we just don't get along.
Sometimes love has to be radically accepting and not so much a love that is active. It can be a mere well wishing
Detatchment is SO DIFFICULT but it has to be done, if we ourselves are to forgive ourselves and move on.
Hugs, Arfie
