Family & Friends of Bipolar Support Group
This community is dedicated to parents, siblings, grandparents, other relatives and friends of someone who is Bipolar. The purpose of this community is to help families and friends develop greater patience and understanding, as well as maintain a positive, caring relationships with those diagnosed as Bipolar.
Lou, we have posted things that are positive but you are only focusing on things that are negative. I also do not believe that you fully understand us here being bipolar to begin with. I seriously doubt that you can find anyone in here that would say
I have just been flamed by cody in family/friends thread as apparently my views (having 4 bp relatives) are invalidated by my bp. Charming. Very 'us' and 'them' and discriminatory.:
that their bp spouse understands fully what they are going through. I have had several bps come and ask me in a private message how they are they coming across to their spouse and what they can doIf you do not like what is written here then do not read it as this is OUR community. Yes, you are free to join it as I am free to join diabetes group even though I do not have diabetes or anything else here.
I do not know what impact you thought you were going to have here but very few if any agree with you. Just remember, as a bp you will always be considered by us as an outsider and someone that can never fully understand us as we can't fully understand you. You understand to a degree of what it is that we are going through. Would you like for us to invade the bp group community and throw out our digs and complaints there and tell you guys a better way to run it and how we without bp would like to shout the absolute truth of what we think of some of the posts that go on over there? Go post this stuff over there as you didn't sway one person here and that should tell you something.

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...
I would like all in our community to now skip over everything lou has to say because she obviously has her own set of issues that she wants others to see and abide by. Damn you if you don't. See her name then skip right over it if you please. She needs to go and chill for a while.
Insight from those with bp & other friends & family is important for us all to see where the others coming from.
So hello to everyone, hope you're all having a good day or night, whatever time zone you're in :)
Now let's all just get along and be happy :)
