  Hello, I am new to DS and also looking for support in general.I've been trying to find support group meetings in my area. If you belong to one, how did you find it? My online searches have not been helpful.My ultimate dream would be to find a friend that "gets me" and I "get her". It's really difficult not having someone in my life that I can turn to through good times and bad living with Bipolar disorder.Over 20 years ago I made friends that have children with autism which I had a very deep...

  Hello,I am new to this site. In fact, I am new to any support group. I've been going at this alone forever. I'm 51 years old and have had mental health issues for as long as I can remember. I never understood why I was the way that I am, until my formal diagnosis when I was around 32?? It was actually a relief, I could stop hating and blaming myself for just being a horrible mistake of nature and should have never been born.I have had so many challenges in my life that being Bipolar made it...

  Thank you. I haven't posted anything yet, I was reading other posts trying to get a feel for things. Plus, I wouldn't even know where to start. I have been in an extreme depressive state that last few days. Trying to pull myself together
