Bipolar

August 14, 2015 8:51am CST
I suffer from bipolar disorder, and have met a lot of lovely people with mental health issues on twitter and other social media. I also write about mental illness in my blog, and write for a local mental health magazine. I'm wondering if there is a lovely community of people on here who provide that support with mental health issues? Would love to hear from you all!

One of my daughters is bipolar. We don´t have here support groups, but good family ties help a lot. I can sense in her voice whether she is taking her medicine or decided to quit. I then coax her into taking an appointment with her psichiatrist again. There are some illness that include not sticking to their pills when they feel better. Bipolarity is one of them. If you are lucky, you´ll have someone nearby when you need him/her.

Well I don't think I have that but it's great once we find support from others, especially from people who suffer the same illness as whatever we have.

I'm sure you will find many of us have mental and physical issues that we deal with and share about. Nice to have you here. My son swears by tumblr to find like minded folks but says you have to be careful because there is also idiots that hang out there.

I don't suffer but have family members with bipolar disorder and anxiety. I have also been a mental health advocate.
