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 love Daily Strength, but I have to remind myself daily that people don't really know you on it. In the 8 months I've been on here I've racked up a pile of not so chuggs friendly profiles on here, entirely unintentionally. This distrought me at first since I've have been completely honest and forthcoming with every aspect of my life, But one thing I'm learning is no matter how much you tell people, they can still draw the wrong conclusions. They can still take what dots you give them and connect them to make a different picture. Just a thought I wanted to share. I figured it would come in handy to someone else too.
People can misinterpret many things and aspects of our lives.
I "over-shared" on a question about sex yesterday because I just finished a course on Human Sexuality in Counseling in grad school.
We were so open in class about the natural desires of humans, etc., and I let that carry over here.
It did not come across academic, nor was it intended to...yet, I know I disclosed too much.
I try share more in private messages than on the boards..
I also guess that you cannot stop people from thinking lol
