I seldom talk to anyone about it...except for one friend I have who is also BP. Since I was an unsuccessful drinker, I go to AA. When depressed, I'll miss meetings for a month or more, & use the excuse of being depressed (which is true) for my lack of attendance. I see no advantage in talking about BP to others; in fact, I think it has the potential to make symptoms worse (power of suggestion). I'm back on PC after being gone for about 9 months, but seldom post on the BP section. I enjoy the addictions section & some of the more social aspects of the site.
