Depression Understood Forums

Hi there, looking for like-minded folks. I have bipolar 2 disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. I lean towards to depressive side of bipolar tho so it makes my nickname ironic, I know. But I'm registered with a couple other forums as MsManic so I'm keeping it consistent. I'm a married mom of 1 and have a typically low stress, boring office job that is driving me mad but I am happy to have it nonetheless. I know a lot of people out there are looking for work but can't find it so I empathize and keep things in perspective. Anyway, nice to have found you all here. Hope I can chat with some of you.

Hey MsManic, returning the favour
From the big apple eh? Why the hell do they call it that? Do you all speak like on tv lol "new yoik" it sounds like to me! I have been to York in England, but your version seems more exciting somehow.

Hi MsManic and welcome to the forum. I hope you find this place a comfort and an opportunity to express yourself and gain support and ideas for thought. Check out our chat room as well, it is a great place to exchange information and be with others who share similar experiences.
Welcome, and take care

Hello MsManic

I completely understand having some bipolar tendencies but yet not experience the "manic" part. I am in a similar situation. It always amazes me how sometimes everything is okay at the moment but still you feel depressed. Congrats on your little person (1 year old), I know im a bit late but either way I commend you for battling your condition daily and taking care of your child, that takes a lot of strength. Keep on truckin as they say!

Not sure if this is a to private to ask but is your husband understanding of your condition and helps out in building that relationship. Its not so much even understand, but accepting!

Good Luck
