Welcome Jen! I'm also pretty new on the forums, but already kind a feel like a part of a family I never knew existed. I'm currently writing a blog on this forum about my path to recovery, with the help of people here, and Dr. Claire Weekes. Feel more than welcome to read it. Maybe there's something you can use. I can tell that I'm getting better and better each day with the help from people here.

This post just makes so much sense, and at the same time this way is scaring the hell out of me! (Pardon my French). I will definitely read up more about this approach and Dr. Claire Weekes. I know it will take more time than I want it to do, and I know it will be hard, but I'm sure I will, with the help and support from family, friends and you guys, succeed in letting my fears go. I've been reading a lot on the forum already, and I really feel "at home". I am going to share this site with a friend of mine. She could definitely use the same support and knowledge this forum brings. Thank you all! Best regards

Thank you guys! It was more or less random that I ended up on this forum. I was adviced by my new doctor to try a different approach than just the meds, as I have never really shared with, or spoken to anyone who can relate to what I'm daily struggling with. I decided I would try an English speaking forum, as I feel I express myself better in English than Danish. (Even though I might have some spelling and grammar mistakes here and there). I don't expect to be "cured", but I have a hope that some of the the stress and pressure will be lifted from my shoulders. I think I saw something about a blog? Is there a personal blog associated to your personal profile, or are people writing blogs on other sites and just sharing them in here or how does it work? Best regards.

Hello Bella. Welcome! I'm new here myself. (Just joined today). I definitely know how you feel. I've dealt with all you're describing. I'm also having a hard time getting a new job at the moment, and the lack of social life that work does give, just brings a person more down. That's my personal experience anyway. What I've done to just help it a little bit is to exercise. I started out running a bit. Only 10-15 minutes a day. It really clears my thoughts. Eventually it got better, and now I'm socializing when playing football (soccer) three times a week. I still deal with daily depressions, anxiety, panic attacks and thoughts circulating only around dying, but exercising helps. I am also a creative person and I feel joy in writing, playing music, drawing and painting. Maybe you're also creative? Best regards Franck

Hello everyone! I'm not sure how this really works. (By this I don't mean a forum, but sharing). It's not something I do much. Well, describing me and my situation in a few lines is pretty hard, as there is much more to my life and experiences than a few lines, but I'll try to give it a go. My name is Franck, I'm 28 years old, I live in Arhus Denmark. I live with my girlfriend and together we have a beautiful daughter. I'm not bipolar. I live with it. I'm much more than the diagnosis, though it does take up a lot of my time. If anyone should be interested, I would love to share my thoughts, experiences, and support, as much as I'm able to. Best regards. Franck
