"Bipolar Support Group's Goal":
SHARE THE AIR; We want all to have the opportunity to share!
GIVE BACK; We often benefit by offering support to others by sharing in our own struggles, triumphs, and experiences!
DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS ARE OKAY; We are all entitled to our own point of view!
WE ARE ALL EQUALS; Accept all Cultural, Linguistic, Social, and Racial differences and promote their acceptance!
We do not participate in our Support Group / Community as Professionals, we do not instruct or advise. However we share in our own experiences. Only we know what is best for our own Health along with our Doctor's instructions!
IT''S OKAY NOT TO SHARE; People may just read. You do not have to share if you do not want to !
IT'S EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THE SUPPORT GROUP / COMMUNITY A SAFE HAVEN TO SHARE!
We respect confidentiality, treat each other with kindness, and show compassion!
The *Goal *of Bipolar Support Groups is that with Professional help "Support" greatly increases the chance of individuals suffering from Mental Illness to either begin, or continue on their way to, or through Recovery. Along with your Medically approved Treatment, we hope you Meet, Greet, Share, and Support with others who are dealing with the same struggles that come along with dealing with these types of Illnesses! We strive to limit the harm that a Mental Health Diagnosis can inflict by offering Peer Support through this Net-Work; by connecting people around the World to one another in order to share your own Fears, Medication Management, Possible Side Effects, Therapy, Joy's, and Sorrow's!
If you have been diagnosed with any Mental Health Disorder we
you to this Peer Support Group / Community. We offer you to give, and gain Peer Support through your journey of Symptoms, Triggers, Treatment, and Recovery. We encourage you to share your journey of Therapy and form friendships with others who are battling the same fight that you are!
Support Group Credo :
Just as each individual is unique, so is their experience of a mood disorder. Through the simple act of listening to each other’s stories, we support each other. By sharing our experiences, we help each other find a real sense of belonging, better understand how mood disorders impact our lives and find coping and treatment strategies. By focusing on the strengths we have gained from our experiences, we promote hope and self-esteem. In our groups we:
Treat each other with kindness and compassion. Often times most of us feel vulnerable. Respect the opinions and experiences of others. We are generous to others in the sharing process. Do not judge. We try to put ourselves in the other person’s shoes. Work on our patience. Each of us tries to do the best we can at a given moment. Listen. We all want to feel heard. Speak only from our own experiences. As a result, we do not lecture or tell each other what to do or what is best for us. Understand that the recovery process is unique and personal for each individual ! Keep confidences, so that everyone feels safe to disclose their personal innermost feelings ! Maintain an environment that is strength-based, hopeful and empowering. Without hope we stop trying !
"Compassion is meant to be shared and spread through the unchanging truths of ones hope for friendship and support and understanding through many of our own creative ways. Infusing our fresh expression of our own faithful way in how to cope daily, hourly, or sometimes for me by the hour!"
