"I personally struggle with mental illness and bipolar disorder." (xbmcx)

MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

I understand that K. I was texting someone night before last trying to save their life, which I think that I did. They are supposed to be in the hospital right now.

We have several group leaders now and since Roy has made a no suicide threats policy, it doesn't happen very often.

Jeanne, how's your family doing?

I have had that happen to me in my group. I usually have to step away and let them fall on their own (not literally), but I point them in the right direction and hope they find their way. It is literally draining trying to talk a person into going to the hospital when they need help.

I dove right in, on here when I got here, because of where I was. I was a complete mess, and shattered. I had a lot of questions, a lot of which had been put aside, even 15 years after my diagnosis. I have problems today, but am in far greater shape, from meeting and talking to people here, than I would have been otherwise. For that I am forever grateful

Yorkie, that's great that you did that. It just leaves you so emotionally drained. SO exhausted.

Hey Lainey, The fam is doing pretty good but Sadie was in the hospital for a couple of days. She was having problems with her kidneys. She is home now and is on a special diet. Sadie is the little princess in the house. She will never believe that she is a dog.LOL
