Welcome, mindfreak!!
 You'll learn a lot about bipolar disorder here. Better than that, you'll learn from the experts---those of us who live with BP. Sometimes it gets pretty intense around here when someone is going through a bad patch, but that's when we really 'jell' as a group and try to help that member get past it. Hope to learn more about who you are and how you came to be diagnosed with BP. In the meantime, look around and enjoy the forums.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|

My Support Forums is the online community that was originally begun as the Psych Central Forums in 2001. It now runs as an independent self-help support group community for mental health, personality, and psychological issues and is overseen by a group of dedicated, caring volunteers from around the world.
