| 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

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.
