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 just saw that today is world mental health day. I think it's pretty cool that they set aside a day to raise awareness for different mental health issues. I've found that people are becoming more aware of mental illness, but still most don't know quite what to do about it. Wishing you all a great rest of your day!

Yes, more awareness is good! But I think alongside that the assistance needs to be readily available. Most people I know right now who would love to start therapy simply cannot afford it. Thats why mental health community helps.

Perfect! I had a conversation with my parents tonight about what to do when I’m depressed. It was a good conversation and I feel better having explained ahead of time what I need :)

I love the fact we're all finally breaking away from the Mental Health Stigma Associated with the labels. I honestly feel like as a society we've improved tremendously since the early 60's when psychiatry was first announced to the public... It's actually understood that in the industrialization era, many factory workers became affected by some type of mental health disorder as a result of the hardship involved and no play time/family time to balance life... it's actually a very real and relevant topic in this day in age. Hence, why it's important to not brush under the rug as most other subjects and subtopics have trended to do so over the course of time as a result of "Economics in Industrialization"...

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
