I know about Aware, www.theicarusproject.net, the manic depression fellowship, fyrnice (austrailian bipolar information) and some newsgroups.

I am interested in meeting manic depressive people / bipolar people around Dublin Ireland (monthly perhaps), I do not think Aware is suitable, it removes all the burrs leaving nothing and has many depressives who do not have time for manic issues. I could go on but it would be a rant and Aware is often better than nothing.

Email and the web are good, but I find want to try to form or join a support group. I want the jangling and passion of manic voices especially when I am too jaded and drugged to join in.

Older people even 40-70, how do they get their kicks and energised when all their hopes so far have been dashed.

How do other people code with marriage (I am 15 months married and counting).

This is starting to sound like a manifesto! text me + 353 (0) 86 8256032 or email totierne no spam at hotmail.com
