Question: Do you attend a Bipolar support group or have you ever attended a Bipolar support group?
Currently, I do not, but still occasionally participate on bipolar online forums, like this one. I used to attend DBSA (Depression & Bipolar Support Alliance) in-person support groups in my native New Jersey. I went regularly for a couple of years, then mostly stopped when some participants changed. Nowadays, I live abroad. I am aware of a mental health "drop in" center in a village about 20 minutes away. I wouldn't currently benefit much, as I still don't speak the local language well. I have a local psychiatrist that speaks English. My therapist is an online one from England, as her time zone is much closer than American ones. Right now, that's sufficient support for me.

What is something small that would help with your mental well-being?
