Everything bipolar. Anger, joy, sadness, science, medications, therapists, mania, depression, substance abuse, anything.
I am SO SORRY for my absence!!!!
Hi guys. It's been a long time since I've checked in and I am truly sorry about that. No excuse as a group leader. Well, unless bipolar is an excuse? Haha. My life has been pretty nuts, which I guess is why I've kind of shied away from Imzy, I have had some really bad social phobia, and basically now I'm in a program called PSR that's basically a bunch of therapy groups with similarly "crazy" people. I'm so so so sorry I haven't done my job of leading this group, and I promise to be around more often. I hope everyone is doing well! Big hugs to all, and I hope that you're all in a good place, mentally and physically, for the holiday season.
If anyone has any suggestions for the group, of any kind, including adding another leader in case one of us (me) flakes out or whatever, please chime in!




No worries I think avoiding social platforms when I'm manic may sometimes be better than saying the wrong stuff and regretting later. Need a couple of good close friends and family though, try not to be alone. I was afraid of checking notifications on my phone, my parents charged it for me to ensure I could use it anytime I was feeling better. I think having a hobby or simple activity to fall back on helps.
I started a fight with not one but two people on Facebook over the weekend while manic, and it's just so mortifying after the fact. So yeah, I'm just avoiding things like Facebook where people I know in person are, because yeah this weekend was just terrible.
