Hello, I have an undiagnosed bipolar disorder (Bipolar NOS) with not too big «highs» (still very uncomfortable when they «enter»), but mostly depression. I need a place to get support and to give support to others. For the time being there is little activity in the «daily thread» in the depression forum. That is why I come here - to have continuity. I am an elderly person, living alone («the better half» passed away some years ago). I have children and grandchildren, but not living close to me.

I have learned myself to «pick and choose» from different therapeutic traditions and have made my own program for staying stable with these different «tools». That works for me and that is good. It is I that need to feel better ... Different roads leads to different results for different people ...

For the time being I am stuck in depression. I have tried and tried since the end of December to get my life so balanced that I feel well enough to live a meaningful life. A person made fun of some of the «ingredients» I use in the homemade program I need so much. That made my depression worse. I am still struggling.
