I think it'd be fun to get to know each other a little better
- Why did you join the BP forum?
- What's the silliest/dumbest BP-related thing that someone has said to you?
- What is the best piece of BP advice someone has given you? (Could be a forum member, psychiatrist, etc. who gave it to you.)
- Random fact about yourself
------
1. I joined the BP forum because I have no support system IRL. I needed some fwiends.
2. My old therapist said that you can't be bipolar without going on a shopping spree and telling everyone about it.
3. Labels and medications are important, but don't focus too much on them; focus on getting better.
4. Part of my rib cage is missing cartilage (born that way), and the cartilage is what holds the ribs together to form a rib cage. So, 1 rib on each side isn't actually connected to the rib cage. It makes stretching and deep breathing kind of painful because the 2 ribs don't move with the rest of the rib cage. The 2 ribs basically poke out because they're not curved either. lol. That's why it can hurt sometimes. Pretty weird, isn't it?
