| Bipolar Disorder
is a mental disorder of mood. Swings from the
depths of depression to the heights of mania are the
hallmarks of this illness. Please join us here to
meet others who have been diagnosed with this illness,
ask questions, answer some, or just make new friends
with true understanding of how you feel. It is
true that no one understands us as much as others who
have walked in our shoes.
Bipolar World now has two chat
rooms open for your pleasure. The support chat is
available 24 hours per day with moderated chats every
evening from 8 pm - 11 pm EST, with additional
hours when operators are available. As its name
suggests, support chat is a room for discussion of
bipolar disorder, and sharing questions, answers, and
especially for sharing the empathy and support that only
one bipolar can feel for another.
Lobby Chat is also available 24
hours per day and will be moderated when operators are
available. Lobby Chat is a place to meet with
bipolar friends (or meet new friends) .... to chat and
discuss your day ..... and is meant to be enjoyed on a
light hearted basis - a meeting place as it were (a
coffee shop for bipolars would be an excellent
description if it were real time)
For java chat rooms click on
the appropriate logos below. If using MIRC or another
internet relay program log into irc.webmaster.com
and join the channel #bipolarworld for support chat and
channel #bplobby for the Lobby.
Anyone interested in
volunteering as a chat operator please contact Allie at
inga_1@hotmail.com.
There are rules as in any chat
room but the cardinal one is to treat others as you
would like to be treated. To read the rest of the
chat guidelines click
here. We request anyone who is under age 18 to
use the message board for your age group instead of
using the Bipolar Chat Room until we are able to get
scheduled chats set up for you.
Please remember, we are
volunteers only and not medical professionals.
