How does one get the password for the mental health subforum? I have a question regarding my mental health issues that I wanted to ask the community there, but it's password protected.

Basically, here's the story. I have very severe bipolar disorder that is well controlled on medications. I see a therapist every two weeks. I've been noticing some more dramatic changes in my mood recently, and I want to know if anybody else who has bipolar disorder has the same problem. I'd like to ask if people needed medication adjustments post-op or how they managed the mood changes. I've been cycling between hypomanic and extremely tired but not actually depressed. I go on high speed for thirty hours or so and then crash for a couple of days, and it's annoying. I'm on disability because of my mental health problems, but I recently completed a course in medical transcription and I'd like to look for work, but I can't work with my body and mind doing this hyper-for-a-day-and-a-half, crash-for-two-days bit.

Try the sub-forum again, there was an error. No password is required now.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
