When I first found out I was bipolar, this group was my lifeline. Over the past month or so, nothing I've contributed has warranted much response or discussion. If y'all don't want me around, that's fine. It is just sad to me that I thought I found a place where I could help others and where others could help me....only to be be basically ignored. It's okay though. It is nobody's fault other than my own. My opinions should be kept to myself. I wish you all well. Happy trails.

Beccaboo, I'm new and trying to understand my husband. I am on the famiy support group and am learning so much through the postings here from family with bipolar members. I learn I am not alone. But from people, like yourself with bipolar, I am learning more about what my husband is going through. and that is so valuable to me!
Norma's right, people might be shy or feel it's been said before. I know for me I'm just getting used to 'my words' being online. Sometimes I feel confident to post; other times I feel overwhelmed.
Keep posting; I will keep reading.

I read lots of posts that I find interesting and enlightening. I only rarely add comments of my own. I think it's a mistake to interpret lack of comments as lack of interest. Don't take it personally -- you really don't know what motivates other people to post or not post here. Most likely they are caught up in their own life dramas and their lack of posts is no reflection whatsoever on you or what you have to say.

It's hard for me to try to offer help because I am not Bipolar or in the Bipolar groups to truly understand your situation. You may not know it, but your diary postings show up in the Permanently Disabled Group and probably every other group you joined. I sympathize with your struggles and encourage you not to give up, but I agree with New Day Dawning that not everyone that reads your post may be the best person to offer you help and that lack of comments doesn't mean lack of interest. I send you many hugs. 
Thanks you Suz, and all who offer support. This is indeed a daily struggle, and I have had a rough several days. But I'm a little better tonight, and I'm always grateful for the more pleasant times.

Hello,
I read your posts and it seems very much like home. I am divorced from my husband of four years; about 11 years ago. Our son has bipolar and I am still friends with his father. I know what you are going through.
My ex was told to love himself first, before finding love. He bought himself flowers, went on walks and just did things (whether he liked it or not) to feel better. OF course he takes several meds, but praying, going to church and having the support of family has meant the world to him. I'm working with my son, who is 11, to combat this disorder early on.
Look forward to hearing from you.
