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 a member of a few of the "war" pages. Feelings are strong on both sides and the pages can get a big nasty.
I'm very open about my mental illness on those pages because it is part of who I am.

I'm sometimes disappointed with myself that I am not strong enough to be "out" about my mental illness. I write letters and do a bit of activism, but I'm not as active as I could be.
As you try to decide
You've got a war in your head..
And its tearing you up inside
You're trying to make sense
Of something that you just cant see..
Trying to make sense now
And you KNOW you once held the key..

And
