I'm in the PTSD group, and now this one. Hope to get to know some of you...

Also-the good part (there actually is one to all this)-I'm a creative type...

Hiya mysticsister,

Welcome! Smile

I have been BP II since my early teens, I believe, and I am now in my mid-30's...

You may also want to join the Bipolar group, too... I've noticed that it's pretty active over there... Smile (just giving you even more support options...)

Welcome to the group, I hope you find yourself comfortable here, it is a very supportive group. You can make many new friends dealing with the same issues. Like Serendipity said there is another group they are more BP I but some of them are very nice also. I look forward to hearing more about you. Hugs Stacey Smile

Welcome to the groupSmile Serendipity made a good suggestion. I belong to both. I'm more active here since I'm one of the GL's, but sometimes I'll post in the other group. It's like having double support. The only differences btw the two is the BP group has more of a mix of BPI's and II's and there are more members. Hopefully we can build up more members here too. Well I'm glad that you found us and feel free to jump in anytime.

Miss Stacy,

Thank you so much for the welcome. I think when I originally looked at this group, your's is one of the bios that caught my eye. Not only because of the BPII,

but we share many of the same physicals problems.

I am quite sure you'll be hearing a lot from me-let's just say, I write a lot, and I'm starting to feel comfortable. Being mostly intovert, it took a little while.

Right now, I'm just trying to answer people, and click the right buttons-I am not gifted with the technology gene!

Later,

mysticsister

Jessy,

Thank you for the welcome. I will follow Serendipity's suggestion to join the Bi-Polar group. I'm glad I'm here.

You caught my eye because of the quotes-I'm a quote fanatic. I'll be around-hopefully, more

creative looking. All in time...
