moderator: seattlemom41 Those of us with Bipolar and/or depression can sometimes need lots and lots of encouragement. I've formed this group mostly for those of us who actually suffer from one of these disorders but it's also for those who love someone suffering from one of them.
I hope we can come here and share our tips for using the Tools to Life with depression, mania, and hypomania. I also hope we will share things we'd like those who deal with us on a daily basis to know.
I'd prefer you not come here to whine (let's try to stay positive) - but you can certainly come here to vent the anger and frustration that's so common to those of us with these disorders. So please, come on in and let's help each other out!
Hi every one. I have been reading up on GROW Australia, which is a Free mental health support group. I've noticed that there are branches in America so I thought I would post information on here for ever one to access. GROW is an international mental health movement with approximately 650 groups in »

Either a new discussion on how we're doing, something thats happened in our lives etc, or a comment on someon »
Who out there is still reading this thread? Who wants to commit to be there for each other when we need it? I guess in a way that's the beauty of bipolar, at every point it's likely that at least one of us will be feeling A OK and able to give advice from a good place :). Sorry, silly joke I know, b »
I have been diagnosed as a rapid cycling bipolar. I have really been strugglin for years. I can't even count how many times I have attempted suicide. My neck and shoulder is permanently damaged from hanging myself. Anti depressants just make me worse. I am also a recovering addict so my doctors are »
Today I feel real anxious, angry and shaky. I have had Bipolar for about 5 years but just recently accepted it. I would not believe the doctor and would go on and off my Seroquel until recently (about 4 months ago) I have been taking it regularly. I am so angry with my kids that I feel awful. Tomorr »
Does anyone notice as to whether or not one mood or another makes you feel more artistic or creative? Please forgive my last statement as I was feeling depressed and not creative. It can hurt when one wants to paint and they are immobilized by this illness. »
I think it sucks when you need support and no one even cares whether you exist or not. »
Do any of you dangle off the edge with this illness. Tools can be a lifesaver. I just need the strength to believe I'm able to make the changes I need to make and not get stuck in my current thinking. Right now, I'm afraid to step out on my front porch or be seen by anyone as I am convinced people l »
Does anyone else get the feeling that somehow everyone you know was given a manual on life? It seems like everyone I know somehow knows what they're doing and somehow I'm stuck behind and can't grow up. I was just kind of wondering if anyone felt the same way... »
