manic depression support group in RTP, NC area?
Q.Does anyone know if there is a manic depression support group in the Triangle area of North Carolina? If yes, contact info?
A.I like NDMDA's group up here. There is alink to them on my webpage (I think it is ndmda.org but I'm not sure)> Tir homepage has a listing of support groups around the country. My step-grandmother told me a few years before she died, "Maybe you aren't the type of person for a relationship, and there's nothing wrong with that." She told me that when I wanted to walk out on a relationship that was going badly not solely because of me and my condition, but the co- dependency the other person had on me. After hearing that advice, I accepted that that may be true and that just "sleeping around" was okay. I don't think it had to do with my being gay, but sleeping around was I suppose easier in my early thirties. Being free from that burden of expectation of love and relationships, I was freed to let one find me. If that makes sense. You sound so down! That's the plan you see; It's not what others think of you that counts so much as what you think of yourself. Obligations that intervene or supersede between you and your own health: be it physical or just peace of mind. More over, if we can't believe in ourselves, it would be too grandeur a vision to suppose others will believe in or trust us either. The hug you request must come from yourself first; that you may give yourself permission to leave behind what troubles you. Change is what keeps us with the living. Refuse to, and we die. What current commitments do you have, if you don't mind my query? (you can change the names to protect the innocent)
