Banjo possibly put that up there because I went MIA again and didn't put it up myself (thank you banjo!).

Thank you for all this useful links in this thread!

I think about starting a group in my area with and for bipolar people, kind of self-help or communication - sharing experiences.
I think I might get some ideas through these adresses how and where to begin.

Hello, I am new to this forum. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to have found it. I have been a fan of Stephen Fry's for quite a while now. Anyway, I like this website http://www.iambipolar.ca/ It also has a forum for discussion of bipolar etc.

Thanks.

Hi I am trying to also find further information on people like Stephen Fry who do not take medication for bi-polar .In the second part of the secret life program Stephen interviewed a lady with bi-polar who had not taken medication for 15 years and was a doctor who stated she takes 3mg of cod-liver oil daily and has a diet high in fish to boost her omega 3 intake I would like to email this lady but I did not get her name ?Does anyone know of other people who manage their bi-polar with a similar diet?



Q: What's your own experience of having bipolar disorder?
Stephen: I approach it from the point of view of one who suffers, according to a psychiatrist at least, from cyclothymia which is sometimes called 'bipolar light'.

I take that to mean I have most of the benefits of hypomania, a slightly less psychotic form of energy, vitality and exuberance and some, one hopes, creativity.There are certainly spending sprees but happily very little promiscuity. That's just my good fortune in this regard.

Q: Do you take medication?
Stephen: I'm fortunate enough not to be medicated or, so far as I can tell, need medication. But the idea that once you start on medication and each time you go off it you seem to get worse is a very grim one. It really is a very serious condition

Im glad I found this thread.

Ive just finished making a website for my uncles book, Bipolar Expedition.

The book Is an autobiographical account of living with the condition and is both dark and funny.

My uncle has also started a blog on there, feel free to contact him by clicking 'get in touch'

Id sooner prefer to have the site used as a platform for discussion on bipolar disorder than as a way to push book sales so please dont take this a...pimp post.

I think this site is aimed at younger people with bipolar/mood disorders.

its an american site and it does push her books a little and her 'health cards' but her blog is interesting and her emails on how to deal with things are useful sometimes... good support for friends and family of people with bipolar too.
