I created this introduction thread due to the number of introductions posted on the "Bipolar Chat" sticky. The Bipolar Chat that I lead is now scheduled on Fridays at 9 PM EST. It will cover a variety of topics which will be posted in the chat announcement and outlines will also be posted for those unable to make the chats. The first Friday of the month Wingin'it will lead an open Bipolar Chat. Those will Bipolar are also invited to the Depression Chat on Wednesday at 9 PM EST, but there will be significant overlap in topic.

Hi
I'm a 37year-old woman from Australia. I have Bipolar2 + a few other conditions. I'm here to reach out for someone to talk to. Desperately. I really need help right now. I'm just about at the end of my tether. Struggling to stay alive. Can't find someone to talk openly & honestly to, because if you mention the "S" word to professionals, they have to hospitalise you, & family members can't handle it. I have no-one, which is mostly my fault because I have isolated myself & pushed people away so well, that now it's just me & my 2 cats, 2 dogs, on the couch, watching TV & eating junkfood. I find it hard to talk about how I'm feeling right now, because I'm embarassed & ashamed to not be in control of my own life & emotions. I come here looking for someone to talk to, because it's easier to share with somebody who can relate. I'm really just treading water at the moment, & know if I don't get help soon, I will drown. Thankyou for listening. And can someone please explain how to join a chat. Thanks.
