[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 359195, member: 7083"] I like your ideas, but I think you also need to have practical information, as well. Such as: Recognizing the signs when you are heading towards mania or depression. What can you do to stop the spiral? Write down a list of people in their lives who are supportive and they can call when they need help. How to handle stress when dealing with the overwhelming emotions of BiPolar (BP) or MDD. When to make important decisions and when it might be best to wait. Relaxation techniques - you could actually play a relaxation CD during group. How to deal with the stigma that still exists. Learning to accept this disorder and not be ashamed of yourself because of it. Thinking of things that we did in group in the psychiatric hospital. I don't know at what point your group is at, but I think those are things that need to be revisited from time to time. You know how hard it is to come up with these things when you're in crisis.
