hi luxpig
well if you want to talk, i would be happy to chat with you. after you have three posts, you can click on my name and private message me. i am not sure how to go about finding online therapists that pegs talked about but i know they are available. i am bipolar as well so i know a bit about that. i visited japan a couple years ago to see my son who is stationed there in atsugi. i was really impressed with all the different man hole covers...lol. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
