Hi,
I'm new to PsychCentral. I have bipolar II which was diagnosed in 2000 but suffered with depression most of my life. I do take meds and attend weekly therapy sessions. While I'm certainly more stable and better able to manage the disorder than I once was, I do tend to walk that "narrow balance beam" and am pretty easily triggered. I'm hoping this will be a safe place to come when those bp lows kick in. Also looking to provide support when I can. Hoping you're all having a peaceful day. Blessings, Etheria

Welcome to PC Etheria. I'm also bipolar and when I get in my moods when I'm on the "narrow balance beam" coming here and using the chat room talking to others definetly helps, at least it calms me down quite a bit and being able to vent off steam, preventing me from doing something I will regret. So whenever your feeling down or really angry try going to the chat room and maybe it will help you too.

Thank you Dreamrunner, Mydarlin, January and Shyguy. I feel comfortable already - nice to not have to explain the "narrow balance beam" thing! Blessings
