hi curly im not very posative at the mo but to me our problems dont seem asbad as others think cause they dont have to live & deal with them,doesnt make them any less valid,being bipolar every probs a earth shattering thing big or small doesnt matter still triggers me.as for self help its vust my opinion but to me its a load of crap that therapists use because there under the impression that we can build a bridge & get overit? i disagree we have no control over it or we wouldnt need pdoc help? so hope i didnt rain on your parade but i warned you i wasnt posative, tc & goodluck
