 "Mother is stroke patient" (bear78)

MDJunction to me

HiddenButterfly"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)

Hello all, Well I am new to the group however not to MDJunction. I have just recently became an active member again. I am here because the area I live in does not offer any true support groups for people suffering from Bipolar disorder. There's a group for our spouses!!!! Just not us!

So I am here looking for added support but also in search of other people in the HAMPTON ROADS area who are in need of something a little extra. I have organized a local support group for people with Bipolar disorder to meet regularly for support and well fun with people who can relate.

So, Im looking for new friends from all over the world but if you are in my area please contact me, Id love the chance to introduce you to my group.

Thank you

Miss Branch,

I want to give you a warm WELCOME to our online group!! I think it's admirable that you are starting a group of your own in your area. I am sure others who need it that live near you will be grateful. I look forward to learning more about you and in the meantime we are here for you! Smile

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
