Hello Better

Welcome to the forums and thankyou for being a part of the forum family too!

There are many gentle people on the forums that suffer from this form of depression (Bipolar) that can be here for you no worries at all. I have had depression/chronic anxiety (under management) and do understand what you are going through

Bipolar is a form of depression and it is a dark place to be in for sure. The forums have a section with many people that also have Bipolar. The copy & paste link below will take you to straight to it

you are not alone

Hi Blonde Guy.

Really enjoy your posts + we all learn from each other.

It's Guest 830 here in reference your reply to Guest 2 about her ailment- BPD isnt bipolar. Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding on your part either way.

Thought I'd bring it to your attention.

BPD is an serious disorder which I can personally relate to exceptionally well. It's an illness which few understand looks like bipolar but it isn't.

As for Guest 2, I also suffer from exact disorder + do understand how she really feels by struggling each day.

Hope this post may help you whilst doing your best to help others. Seen your Excellent posts which is so encouraging to many!

With kindest regards.

All the best!!

Guest 830.

Hi, I am a 28 year old female with borderline, really going through a rough time right now, in fact just discharged from a mental health hospital last week. Would be happy to chat as I have never spoken to anyone else who suffers BPD and feel it would be quite reassuring.

Hi Guest 2 + Knowgodsknowmasters,

It's Guest 820 here who Genuinely Understands about BPD.

Would like to share with You that I'm also a borderline myself.

I Do have a tremendous personal understanding, knowledge + experience of how cope to with BPD when things are both good + not so great.

If interested, feel free to have a chat

Warmest regards
