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'm unemployed at the moment and I find the days and nights really long though I'm trying to become stable on my meds again and am hoping to find some support here because I'm also dealing with recovery from a marijuana addiction so any kind of support here would be much appreciated.

@fight2overcome, are you bipolar? I ask because we've had a number of people pushing a particular religious counselling service and every other post you have made on DS has suggested christian counselling services.

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
