For all Bipolar members <3

We have lots of members on the Bipolar forum right now who could use the extra hugs and special thoughts for them right now. I am thinking of each of you who is going through a hard time and it's heart breaking to not be able to really reach out and lend a shoulder, or help in a any way possible.

I have read through every post on here the last week or so and tho I may not have replied to each one, I feel an aching in my heart for each person here who is hurting.

I am sending ALL my good thoughts, healing thoughts, love and wishes for peace to each one of you. You've become like a family to me on here and I am very thankful for each of you.

((((((((((((((((((((All members of the Bipolar Family))))))))))))))))))))))))))

You're a sweetheart. Sending it back & passing it on.

Anika... I don't know you, yet, but this post means you rock.

Goodwill and hope back at you.

I thank you so much. I needed your words and hugs, peace, and love today. I have been feeling very depressed and down lately. It is nice to know a stranger can be so compassionate. Maybe we could become friends in the future. I wish you love and happiness. Sending hugs and warm wishes your way. Again thank you.

Right back atcha, Anika! It is like a family here (the good aspects that is, lol!)

I agree with every word that you wrote although I must admit I did not read much on the bipolar forum until tonight, All you guys are amazing people.

I really don't know what I would do without PC now, I am so glad that I found here.

(((((everyone)))))

Thanks so much Anika. You're the best! (((hugs)))

This post is wonderful!!!! I agree ((((((Everyone))))))

Thanks Anika, you are a sweet & caring person!!!

Thanks for caring, Anika.

Be well...

Thank you Anika!! Hugs to everyone here!!

Thanks Anika ... Warms the heart.

Thanks for all the hugs back guys, I'm going to package up all those extra hugs, and send them right back here, to all who are hurting. If I could just reach through the screen and put out my hand for you to hold on too, I really really would. I think we all would here in this very special place.

(((((everyone)))))

The people here struggling even right now are the same people, handing out their support, kindness and love, everyday even while in the midst of their own biggest struggles. That is the part that amazes me day in day out.

Anika, this thread means so much to me. I feel so supported; thanks so much.

I first read it around 3:30, while I was waiting for my old pdoc to call. I was hoping that he would be able to take care of me over the phone (we are 200+ miles apart), because I don't like the pdoc I've found here at school very much. I was very low, and convinced that he wouldn't be able to help me, or even want to help me.

For the first time in months, life exceeded my expectations. Not only did he agree to take me on again as his patient, but he was able to detect that I was depressed from some questions he asked (the man is a genius; I had a long list of symptoms I was going to complain about, but I didn't even need to consult it because he knew exactly what to ask). He told me that he was concerned, and he is mailing me a script for wellbutrin.

This is the first time since coming back to school that I felt a mental health professional truly listened to and sympathized with me. I feel more hopeful than I have in weeks. Life is strange; I feel like your positive energy helped bring about this extremely positive event in my life. So thanks.

Secretum, I am so delighted for you, you were someone I was holding in mind, I am glad you made the reach out to your old Pdoc! Your declaration of your plan really stuck with me, and struck a chord with me also. I think you do have everything it takes to make it. You have so much going on and I admire what strength that must take.

So woohooo!!! Very glad you had a positive change! Reason to celebrate a lil!!

Thanks so much, Anika!

I only found out about having BPII about 3 months ago, and it's because of people on this board like you that I've been able to work through this without feeling really alone. Your post means a lot to me, you guys really are like family now

Great thread Anika!

Hugs to everyone. It is amazing how many people are actually battling at the moment, but know you are not alone. Things will pass. We just need to be able to reach out, and when we are healthy enoug, reach out to help others

(((HUGS)))

As I read through this thread, I started crying - not because I'm upset (I'm actually have an amazingly positive week, though admittedly a little hypo) but because I'm so grateful to have found a place where I can talk about all these things that scare me half to death, and know that I'll be understood and supported. I don't have any other people in my life who can offer this kind of comfort and reassurance.

Thank you all so much for your time, attention, advice, and loving-kindness. I can't begin to say how much of a relief it is to feel accepted as I really am.

(((everyone)))

Ani & Hanners, That makes me so happy!! I went years without much support. I am so glad I found this place and I am so happy others have too.

We've already had lots of positive news today coming in so let's keep those positive vibes coming. ((((((((((( bipolar family )))))))))))

Anika, thank you for your beautiful and caring sentiment. The season change and a change of meds has brought about some depression for me. Your words touched my heart and while it doesn't take much to make me cry these days I cried in a good way over your kind words of encouragement. (((((((Anika)))))) sending back good thoughts your way and wishing you and all of us here at pc all the best.

I just joined,but already feel the love.I'm struggling hard with this & I sure can use all the hugs I can get.
