I've been around here quite a long time now...

I would like to see some threads back that are about Treating Bipolar all around.... Healthy living, sleep hygiene, problems with self care and say cleaning issues, learning more coping skills, Ideas on what healthy food can help off set the weight gain that psych meds often cause.... and it not just be Meds Meds Meds... " call your Pdoc" " you need a med adjustment /change"

We use to have a lot of alternative ideas around here and whatnot but that has really fallen to the way side.

A while back I posted a Thread about having a IP stay and I wanted to share that it was very helpful and positive.... Responses??? Most everyone complained about how shytty and terrible IP is... Sure there are lousy places ... But My positive thread turned into a total downer and I was getting PM's saying I was lying

I also think its helpful if a member is having a on going problem that instead of making a new thread(s) daily just keep adding onto the original one.. Why? Well for a couple reasons... It's easier for people to kind of follow along and not have to read 3 different threads and try to piece together info so advice can be given.... And of course lots of threads are just getting pushed down into page 2 or 3 and that could be why some people are not getting much in way of responses and feeling left out.

Anywho.. Just my opinions

I'm sorry to hear that you feel like outcasts.

Personally, I enjoy reading posts from all of you, and I think you guys have contributed a lot to this forum already. I'm sure others feel this way too.
