Welcome!
This is a safe place to discuss, vent, and share information about bipolar disorder. It is also a place for peer support and comfort.
Please use empathy and common sense when posting and commenting. We are all in this together, let’s stay kind and civil.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
- If you are having thoughts of suicide, please call a friend, family member, 988 in the US, or find transportation to your closest emergency room (call 911 in the US).
- Please be sensitive when discussing suicide and self-harm. Posts threatening suicide are subject to immediate removal.
- Posts containing medical advice or diagnosing others are not allowed. If you are posting about traditional or alternative treatment methods, please keep the post focused on your personal experience.
- We do not allow promotion, solicitation, or affiliate links. For interviews, surveys, and studies, please contact the moderators.
- Harassment of any kind is not tolerated. Do not harass any user for any reason including treatment plan/medication adherence, race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, etc.
- You may post bipolar memes and jokes as well as serious content. This rule may change later at the community’s discretion.

agree. my own thoughts:
if a therapist is ever telling you what you "can't" do in interpersonal relationships, they're not doing their job. their job is to guide you towards you building your own best life, to find your own answers in a safe environment, ...it is not commanding you to do stuff because they think it's "right"
you should be on board with every decision made about you.
