I’m having a bipolar episode

[Fat_Bulldog]

I'm sorry to hear. Take care of yourself and know this will pass and is only temporary.

Mary, I hope you have a professional to reach out to during bouts with this. Please seek help if you haven't already. And please check in with us here too.

Still having difficulty, but was able to focus a bit this morning. I went to the cemetery and put a flag on my dad’s grave. He spent 20 years in the Navy.

I'm glad you were able to do that.

I have a psychiatrist and just started today with a new therapist.

Awesome. I hope you're continuing to feel better!

It’s like someone put my brain in a blender, pushed purée, then took the top off and all the pieces are going everywhere. Please keep me in your thoughts or prayers.

Hey, Mary. I happen to be Bipolar 1 myself and have been hospitalized numerous times, mostly for mania. I hope your circumstances are looking up. If you're ever looking for online support, I moderate the largest bipolar support group on Facebook (about 60,000 people). If interested, I can send you a link. Or just drop the name here.

It's ok if you want to share the name of your group, TM. Sounds like you're providing a pretty valuable service.

Thanks, zeus!

For anyone interested, this is the name of the bipolar group on Facebook I help out with. "Bipolar Disorder Support Group - A Global Community" Friends and family are also welcome.

Thanks TM.

Thanks TM.

Mary, just saw this thread today. We're all with you. Please feel free to contact me personally when you're having an episode. I messaged you my number.
