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.
You have to give up everything great, love, lust (is that an emotion), excitement, pride, that feeling you get when you were right and your wife was wrong. All of it, but no more f-ing BP moods swing, suicidal tendencies, none of it. Think carefully. SRC

So, I think if we all would think of ourselves as "whole people" instead of just our disorder, that question would be unecessary.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
