Aidpage group discussing "mental illness"...

posted on Mar 12, 2008 (modified on Feb 12, 2008)

Feel free to participate in this public group space.

Two easy ways to do this:

  1. Add a comment or a question here - on this page... or on any other page in this space.
  2. Or, if you want to start a separate thread - make a new page.

Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.

DtJulieB,

Being Bipolar is not the end of your life - its the beginning of a different way of life. No different than being diabetic, you have different needs than some. You have to eat properly, take your meds ( if necessary) and see your doctor on a regular basis. Yes, there are ups and downs ( pun intended ) as there are with any other illness, but it does not define who you are as a person, it is a only small part of you. As for grants to pay off your debts, unfortunately, I have yet to find any - but that is not to say they do not exist. What I could suggest is a consolidation loan and pay off one balance - rather than several. Or possible Consumer credit counseling. OR as a very last resort, bankruptcy.

You have a lot of choices to make and they are best made with the guidence of a specialist who understands your options - perhaps a counselor or group therapy - which could be very beneficial. There is a ton of information out there- research your illness, it may seem scary now, but in time, it will become just one more of your wonderful assets!
