Hi Everyone,
I've recently shared that the time/weather changes has affected my mood. I went to a few support groups last week and they helped. I had to share info on DBSA (Depression Bipolar Support Alliance www.dbsa.org). I really enjoy the group. The good/helpful thing about DBSA is I was among others with bipolar disorder. The other groups I attend are very mixed depression, OCD, schizophrenia etc... Does anyone else attend DBSA or other support groups?

I do, at least we follow their guidelines and read them aloud every time we meet. We have people with bipolar and depression along with loved ones of people with depression and bipolar.

I just had an impromptu support group
 - the guy whom I invited for dinner has major depression and we talked about stuff. I sent him a link to the depression forum on this site.

I'm thankful for Thanksgiving but not happy one of my support groups will be cancelled.

I live in a tiny town, 20+ miles from a very small town ... So I am very certain there are Bipolar people here! But no support groups.
I don't think I would go to one personally. Got enough of those while inpatient.
