How can I find a bipolar disorder support group?

Some of the best places to start adding to your support system are bipolar or mental illness support groups. If you've never attended a support group, now's the time to start. You may need to visit more than one support group before finding one where you feel comfortable.

You can find lists of local support groups from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) websites or their local offices, or from your healthcare provider. The keys to evaluating a support group are feeling safe talking about your emotions and thoughts, and sensing that you share something in common with the other group members. If the group has a facilitator, check his or her qualifications and experience for running such a group.

Look for a degree in social work, counseling, psychology, nursing, or medicine and experience in running groups. For self-run groups, you should feel comfortable with the process of the group and the way its leadership is structured.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
