- Hi all! I've been away for awhile. I just got diagnosed with Congestive Heart failure and I'm trying to come to terms with it. My bipolar has been stable for 5 1/2 years now but with this news I'm fighting a bit of a dip in mood. I'm a bit...
- Hi everyone. I'm looking for an active weight loss support group and this is the only active group I've found. I need to lose 73 pounds. Am I in the right place? Or is this group only for those who have reached their goal and are trying to...
- Hi everyone. I'm wondering if other folks with bipolar find themselves with the same difficulty I have. I find it very difficult to socialize with people. I get tense and try to dig up things to help carry my end of a conversation and I draw...
- I know this probably sounds immature, but today I'm just feeling tired of working so hard at being stable. Yeah, the meds are working great but I still have to do my part in working at stability too. And that's fine, I know that's what I need to...
- Hi all! I'm here after a very long time. Overall I've been doing well but today I feel I'm on the edge of a mood swing. I don't know if it's because I've had poor sleep the last 2 nights or if it's that I'm fighting off a cold or maybe it's...
- How do I send a hug in response to a post--do I click the heart next to the post? And I can't find my friends. Frustrated.
- I've gained a lot of weight on seroquel, then olanzapine and now I'm on ability, wellbutrin and lithium. I want to lose 55 to 60 lbs. Watching what I eat seems to have gotten me to a place where I"m no longer gaining, just maintaining my current...
- Hi everyone.I know I suddenly went missing from the board. My depression got so bad I couldn't trust myself to not end it all in a weak moment. I have a pact with hubby and Pdoc that when that happens I'll let hubby know and he'll take me to the...
- I'm supposed to be on 3-4 days of totally doing nothing per Pdoc's orders. Did well Wed. afternoon & night, did pretty good yesterday, today went back to the one more thing routine. Hubby asked me to do a couple of time consuming things and I just...
- Well, I've been very depressed for more than a couple of weeks. Dangerously so, suicidal thoughts and desires, for well over a week. I hung onto the thought I'd see Pdoc today.I give him my mood chart every visit. He taped them all together so...
- I am soooooo tired of life. I have been having suicidal thoughts for several days but it hasn't gotten to quite the overwhelming out of control point yet. I've been sorely depressed and yet continuing to do things that are difficult even when...
- Has anyone experienced this? I'll be talking with someone and his/her face will suddenly morph into an ugly angry kind of version on him/her. The first time it scared me and my husband was with me and saw nothing. It's happened a few times since...
- During my depressions I refuse to allow myself to nap unless I'm really in the dregs of it. During the deepest depressions I'll allow myself a 1 hour nap tops. During these deepest depressions all I want to do is sleep or stay in bed because I am...
- Do we have the ability to remove past posts? Just curious.
- Coming home from the lab this morning, there were huge, black, thunderclouds on one side of the sky and blue sky and puffy white clouds behind me. As I was driving towards the storm clouds I had the weirdest feeling that they were there due to a...
