IBelieveInAngels Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hey. I'm 20. I've been diagnosed bipolar type two since I was 16. Is there anyone else out there that has bipolar and would be willing to contact me? I need someone to talk to who will understand the stress and depression.

dsholly59 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi, I am bipolar. I was diagnosed several years ago. I would be willing to help you out. Maybe we can help each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sister_in_faith Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Just a thought... I just found NAMI is active in my area and I am taking a class called 'peer-to-peer'. Im only 3 weeks into it (we meet once a week), but everyone in the class (including mentors) have mental illness. It is interesting to listen to other people talk about their issues, and to realize that I'm not as abnormal as I have thought in the past. We all have medication issues. We all have relapse issues. And none of it is 'our' fault. =) you should look into it in your area. they have support groups too (I haven't tried that tho)... Im not bipolar, but I have major depression, an anxiety disorder, and PTSD... happy to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAMI is active in my area, and I know many who find their resources helpful and supportive. You might also talk with your psychiatrist about your concerns. S/he might know of other support groups or peer-to-peer resources that could get you more networked. Congrats on reaching out and getting help.
