Hello, I am the child of a bipolar parent and I am trying to find support for myself if that makes any sense.

You know Ellen, I am kinda thinking that your "venting" may help us as well. While I think the tendency for us BP folks is to feel misunderstood, it may help to know how our words and actions are being perceived. By you being a "third party", your experience may better help us to understand our own.

I personally am interested in what you have to say.

It seems to me that you would be welcome here, as it seems you did not arrive with a chip on your shoulder by any means. It would certainly be interesting to hear what you have to say. All that said, you may also be interested in the board for family members of the mentally ill.

Express!

Ellen,


Most of our members do have BP, but some are friends or family members; also a number of our members also have children who are BP.

Hi patricksmomma, When I first started coming here I was a spouse of a BP person. I originally came to give what support I could to friends and family of BPs. I have since been dxd myself. I have found wonderful support here and have had many questions answered and answered many myself about dealing with BP from the outside. I encourage you to stick around and post as needed.
