So, the other day I decided to find a bipolar chat room. Well, I found one and the people were not nice. I just asked a simple question and basically got crapped on.

I'm so happy I found this site! I've never felt so welcomed anywhere else in life and what better than by people who understand me!

Thank you to all of you who have made my life a lot easier to deal with and understand!

I'm sorry the other support group wasn't nice. That's not support, that's treating you like crap. We are so happy you found us too, it's nice to find people who understand and go through the same things that you do. Thank you for joining!! Stay strong. Hugs

Whoaaa you went to another site for a bipolar group??? I'm devistated!!! Tongue Just kidding, I'm sorry it wasn't what you had expected. I had horrible experiences with many other sites while searching for online support and did give up until I somehow came across MDJ. I swore i'd never put myself out there again but I did give it a chance and am so thankful everyday that I did. I'm amazed at this site and how it's operated. Wink

I'm sorry you had a bad go around but we are here for you and although I'd like to say you don't need anyone but us lol I won't be silly so I'll say I'm sure there's something out there but I honestly don't believe anything will compare to MDJ and their setup. Good luck! Hugs Wink

I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

"Just because we have the right to disagree with a person, does NOT give us the right to disrespect that person."

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey

I'm so sorry to hear you got treated badly. I myself have had some experiences like that, and it is very hurtful. Like Robsbaby, I stopped looking around once I found MDJ too. I have only been a member for a week or two and I have been truly touched and inspired by the acceptance and welcome that I have received. I'm happy that you have found MDJ. Smile

It took me a couple years to find this site.

I have been to a few of the others and found so much negativity I just didn't want to be part of that.

This group is what I was looking for and glad that its here. The people here are the opposite of what I found on other BP sites.

Glad your here Smile

peace & hugs
