Although I haven't been around here for very long, this forum has made a difference in my ability to cope. I don't do group therapy, so to me, this is an anonymous and even more effective way for me to connect to others with BP, get feedback, and the support that I can definitely use. It gives me encouragement and an outlet where I feel safe sharing. In real life, I do not share these things, aside from weekly therapy or with my pdoc....but therapy is getting too expensive, so I won't get to go as often anymore. Thank you all for making this such a supportive place.
