"Hello. I'm Jen. I was looking for a bipolar support group and found this site. I would love to meet people who are going through similar situations and would love to learn more on how to cope with the bipolar rollercoaster.
I love to talk and to listen! I'm currently quite deppressed and could use some friends.
Thanks for reading.

“It’s all done with mirrors”
The title, a phrase which, as nearly as I can determine, was coined by E. E. Cummings, suggests a means of tricking the perception with mirrors; and the phrase also aptly describes the tricks of my manic and alcoholic mind during the course of my misspent life.
Now I am nearing the END of my life. How much time DO I have left!?"

Dual diagnosis, in the context of bipolar disease with addiction/alcoholism/substance abuse, has always presented difficulty to diagnosticians, because the symptoms of one disease tend to hide among the symptoms of the other disease.
This article should help you to see where symptoms may "overlap" and, with a little honest personal inventory or the help of a health professional, to help you to see whether you or your loved one should seek direction or help.
