First Time at a Support Group Mood
Thursday, June 26, 2008

On Tuesday I went to a support group for Bipolar disorder for the first time. It was about 23 minutes away from my home, but it was worth the drive. It just so happened to be family night so Tiffany was able to sit in there with me for my first time there and see what it was like as well. I think it will be a helpful addition to my getting better. It's put on by a local hospital in Cincinnati, it's actually the same hospital I spent my first time in a psychiatric ward at. It meant a lot to me that Tiffany went with me and is willing to drive me to the meetings and just wait around as well, it shows a lot of support on her end. She really is a wonderful wife.

My moods are getting a little less depressive. I actually got dressed yesterday, did my make up and got out of the house for a little while. Which hasn't been the normal for me lately. Lately I have just been staying in my pajamas most of the day if not all of it. It seems like my moods may be getting better. I just hope it doesn't swing up to high. If you know what I mean!

    yes I do , i have been in my pj's all day today .

    I am glad you started that group meeting. Its good for you and I am happy that Tiffany is supporting you, Better then leaving like Joel(sorry I am bitter about that still). I think your right it will help you cope with bipolar, I do the same for my Borderline, and it helps. Just remember all those people really do understand what you are going through, one of my good friends is bipolar and so is her husband.
