I'm new here. I'm looking at every avenue available to treat myself with bipolar. I'm able to work and function in public most of the time. It depends on how much strength I have for that day. It takes alot of energy to pretend all is well. I need to learn new coping skills along with recently added meds. I hope to hear from anyone as I am feeling alone with this disorder. I am also waiting to get into a group but from experience not all groups are equal. God love us, Angel
Hello Angel, Congrats on seeking help. Have you read some of the other posts in the general discussion? There are so many similar stories and ideas and so much help here. It's late, but I wanted to say welcome.
WELL WELCOME! FEELING ALONE I KNOW FIRST HAND ON THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE THIS MENTAL ILLNESS BUT WE ARE NOT ALONE. MOST OF THE TIME I DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH I FORCE MYSELF TO DO THINGS I DONT BELIEVE IN WEAKNESS BUT I HAVE IT. I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU SAY IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY TO PRETEND EVERYTHING IS OKAY WHEN IT NOT I HAVE THAT SAME PROBLEM. I JUST WROTE SAYING SOCIETY LAWS AND STRUGGLES WITH LOSSING MYSELF IS THAT HOW YOU FEEL?
