Welcome, @safeharbor! Yes, this is the bipolar disorder forum and we're happy you've joined us.

Yes, there are a number of threads that are more like daily "Check-in" threads where members, most with bipolar disorder, maybe talking about the day usually emphasizing the stressors or happenings that affect their lives. There are also more "fun get to know you" threads that help members develop knowledge of each other as potential (or established) friendships. Also a couple "journaling" threads, which some like and some not.

However, this IS a place where topics relating to bipolar disorder, or questions, requests or support can be posted as new threads. Unfortunately, there have been fewer of these in recent years. In the past, the forum was predominately full of them. Some members here have been around a while (like me), so have long since posted such threads. Newer members are desired to help spark them again. If topic threads are most what you desire, there are other places to find them.
