Hi everyone,

As many of you may know, I'm currently in hospital due to my bipolar. I came in depressed, then became manic, and now I'm slowly getting to the balancing point. I've been here for over 40 days thus far.

While we are here, we attend groups on different subjects that helps us, like anger management, depression, bipolar, etc...and at many of these groups a "support system" is mentioned - a group of people that I could talk with to keep them updated on how I'm doing, and receive/give support as well.

I have my father as one of my supports, for sure. My friends are very nice, but are not suitable for the role of a support person. They just don't understand mental health well enough.

So here comes the big question: If anybody feels healthy enough to be a support, and would like a support as well, please feel free to send me a pm. I could take about 5 supports total, maybe more. I'd like to establish a support system where we can exchange support with each other, check in with each other each day (or bi-weekly, or less often...whatever works ), just to make sure we're doing all right.

I'll be getting some support once I leave the hospital, but I'd like a closer bond with some people who truly understand where I'm coming from, and I could rely on.

Thanks for taking the time to read!
