MDJunction to me

2steveb" In life we all have trials and tribulations to endure weather it be physical, mental or social. For me personally when i encountered MDJunction i was astounded. Since i joined MDJunction to me it has been a god send and a life saver. I have met and been able to converse freely with so many people in the same situation as myself, (that alone is a big help, to know your not alone) to be able to discuss and get good advice from a braud section of people. One of lifes hardest things is to discuss personal issues with friends/family and yet the mdj family is non judgmental and you will be made totally welcome to talk through any issue thats on your mind. There are forums for every known issue to mankind, to me MDJ.com has become my family extension, id be lost without these good people and the extremely good guide lines that group leaders help us all with to keep threads topical and friendly."

I'm new on here and found out about this site through google. My boyfriend of over five years has Bipolar Disorder. I deal with constant mood sings, silly rage, and him making me feel unimportant or not good enough. I really love him and try to understand his disorder and help him better understand his disorder. I could definitely use the friends on here, so if you want to, add me.

Hi,

My boyfriend is bipolar and I'm new to this website as well. You may want to post under the family of bipolar support group because I think this group is intended for people who are bipolar. I did the same thing a few minutes ago! Smile

You are fine here...but you can also post in the bipolar in family support group if you would like.

Welcome to the group!

Fight for what you love, Not for what you hate.

Welcome. Thank you for posting in a considerate manner.

I feel for you in living with someone who has a serious illness. Please be sure to take care of yourself, because being a support for someone can be draining. PM myself or any of the group leaders anytime.
