lildropofsunshine Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hello everybody I'm new here to this forum. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 2 and am working on getting stable. I go to therapy weekly, and am trying to find productive things to do with my time that aren't too demanding or stressful. I love to sing and dance, and recently have taken to taking walks around my neighborhood. I have a huge family, but unfortunately, my family isn't as supportive as one would hope. My mom in particular is less than understanding about my mental illness and generally just brushes it off like it's nothing. This is quite hard for me, but I've learned to live with it. I hope this community is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Welcome - glad to have you with us. If you haven't already, take a look at our rules and feel free to PM a staff member if you have any questions. I'm sorry that your family isn't too supportive - mine has gotten better, but they've certainly had their moments! It sounds like you're doing all the right things to get stable. Hope you like it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm glad you're here and I hope you enjoy getting to know the other members. Check out the blog section--it's a very friendly place. Families are not always the most supportive when you have a mental illness. They just don't get it sometimes. Welcome! olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
