Comments on: Today was a bipolar nightmare… http://mybipolarjourney.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/today-was-a-bipolar-nightmare/ This is my journey through bipolar disorder Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:25:06 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: megkirk http://mybipolarjourney.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/today-was-a-bipolar-nightmare/#comment-6 megkirk Thu, 10 Jan 2008 16:21:13 +0000 http://mybipolarjourney.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/today-was-a-bipolar-nightmare/#comment-6 I appreciated your response to my post the other day. It seems like you are able to relate quite a bit to how my boyfriend is feeling. This post in particular made me see the similarities. Every time his bipolar manifests itself with a vengence he goes through this same thing. I'm not sure if it is because he's male or not but when this happens to him he gets angry. So angry with his friends that he calls them and leaves them nasty messages about how they don't really care about him. I end up calling them to say that it isn't actually him speaking from the heart but bipolar taking over once again. Thank you for all of your encouragement. I own the book you recomended and it is amazing. Thank you again! I appreciated your response to my post the other day.

I'm not bi-polar, but I am suffering from depression, and it's been a rough week. Now, hours after the fact my decision to stand up for myself is being questioned. Did I stand up for myself? Really? Or did I just dump on a friend that has her own mental issues? In my depressive fog did I really do myself some good by getting rid of a user friend? Or, did I sabotage myself? Argh!!!!! You're lucky that you have a great support system, I often wonder where mine is. My poor husband can only handle so much. Wow, I did a similar thing today.
