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 know your bipolar when you on a wimp decide to change everything about yourself.
You know you are bp when you are living in a hotel because you, your kids, and boyfriend were evicted from your apartment and boyfriend gets drunk with new friends you met at the hotel and your sober but still think the idea of packing up everything in a uhaul and moving to Florida is a good idea. That is until you hotel it til the money runs out so do the new friends and you end up in a homeless shelter.
Even after that experience 9 months later you pack up yet another uhaul and move to Wyoming.

You have more than once recruited people to go in with you and open your own business because you can run it better than anyone else, then you have to wonder about those who agreed to go in with you

get another credit card cause you've reached your limit on the others

Getting stoned is the only thing that helps you sit down, stop talking fast & helps you concentrate...
Being put on ritalin as a child ( they thought I had ADD) & my parents HORROR when they got a call from the school the next day because I was practically climbing the walls & was about to liberate the other students...
