Bipolar Support Group

I have been away so long that I felt a re intro was appropriate for y'all to know me when I post. I am 22 and was diagnosed bp when I was 19. I was in the air force but that is no longer possible with bp. I took my meds for about three months and stoped. I ruined a great relationship by doing that and am now back on my meds for about 2 weeks and I already feel great. I also droped out of college after two semesters because of my mania. I have since got a better out look on life and am trying to get back on track. I can't have kids due to kidney disease but I have 2 great danes 1 pit bull a cat and a bunny. I love my animals and they bring a joy to my life when nothing else can and I hope to get back to school and get my vet tech degree.

hello daisy,

welcome back!i always wanted a great dane when i was in highschool but as i got older i would be afraid of my own dog.so i went a little or should i say much smaller i got a chihuahua,lol.i love animals too but my husband is not so much an animal lover.i would have a house full of animals all kind.again wecome back

I would deffianatly have more animals if I could... or should I say if I had the space. I am wanting a small dog like a chihuahua but I have a planned breeding for my female dane in december so I am waiting till after the house full of puppies. I am so glad to be back and I have plans to be on all night reading as many posts that I've missed as possible

well daisy all i can say is that i will be on for a while too.just can,t sleep....not good for me but i just can't.so i am surfing around writing in my diary right now.then check my pm's check if there are any new post's.just trying to stay busy.i hate though that my hands are shaking so bad,it makes it hard to type

Welcome back to the group, Daisy. I am sincerely glad you are back on your meds. What a difference they make for quality of life, as you are finding out. I do hope that you are able to get on track, and it certainly sounds like you are, and get back into school to obtain the degree you are seeking. I am also glad you are surrounded by loving pets. They can bring such solace and unconditional love into our lives.

Please make yourself at home with us again and join in where you feel comfortable doing so. I look forward to seeing you posting with us again.

Welcome back Daisy. I don't know what I would have done without my faithful napping partners ( my 3 kitties) when my depression was really bad. Them being next to me and wanting to be next to me is a really big comfort!

Glad to see you back Daisy, you'll get a lot of support here and i'm sure you can give lots of support back. So your meds are working very quickly for you, that's good and feeling that wellness again is so freeing isen't it.

I love animals too and you are surrounded by them great way to get lots of unconditional love.

Hi Daisy, Welcome back. It's good to see you here. It's nice that you have animals, they must be great company. You love them very much. You will make a great vet tech due to your love of animals. I'm very happy you are back on medications. they make suck a big difference. You seem very positive and that is great. I look forward to your posts and seeing you around. It's very nice to meet you!

Thanks for all of the welcomes and support. I am glad it is just as supportive as I remember it. I think the main reason my meds are helping so fast is just the fact that I can get a full nights rest as opposed to the couple of hours I get with out it.

Hey, it's great to see that you are trying to get things going in the right direction for yourself! I just joined this site to try to learn more about bipolar so I can help my husband who suffers from it. If you are ever down or anything or just need to talk, please feel free to private message me.
