Hey guys,

Ok so it goes like this....

In my local area there are no support groups for people who suffer from Bipolar. There is a group for Depression but that is it.

My Support Worker has said I could if I wanted to set a group up. But I am a bit unsure. Can I do this? Am I stable enough to do this?

I would love to be able to be so confident and be able to do this.

I would want to do a starter pack stating about Bipolar and what it is, all the different types there are, medication and therapy which can be used, professionals to see, websites and charities you can contact, crisis numbers and websites, things to do to improve your mental health.

I would also have to get a location for the group. I think I would like to meet either fortnightly or monthly. It would be free if I can get funding. It would need to be at night so people can get to it and central too so people from all over my area could come.

I would like to set up a FB page too.... to bring in a widere audience, people from other area's etc. I would also want if I can get it guest speakers ie professionals who could come and give people advice etc

What do you guys think? Is this too ambitious?
