A List of Bipolar/MH tips and info sheets Some of these are my saved online support group replies that I felt could be useful for someone else (so I don’t have to try to remember what I said and type it again - I typo so good 😜) or replies I saw from someone else (that I scored on the five-finger discount.) Many of my newer ones are lists of links to webpages and/or YouTube videos. If you want to see something on a topic that’s not listed please DM me and ask.
