I recently recieved a comment to this blog wondering if the support group was still active. The answer is "yes." The groups are very active and we are working to help as many people as possible.
The group in Valparaiso meets on the first and third Wednesday at the Aled P. Davies Independence House. It is located at 1254 Lincolnway. We meet there from 6-8pm and the first meeting of the month is generally a speaker meeting. We are still working on the formation of the teen group and have a facilitator who specilizes in working with teens. We welcome all teens and young adults to join this group and also their friends and siblings who would like to better understand this disorder.
There is also a group who meets in Merrillville on the second and fourth Monday of each month from 7-9pm at Methodist Hospital in the basement.
I hope this helped anyone who needed more information and I promise to try my best to update this blog more often. Please join us for the support group meetings. We have been there and we can help. Even I need to be reminded that "I am not alone."

Well done on a nice blog Julia. I was searching for information on teenage depression and ran across your post Still Meeting - not exactly what I was looking for related to teenage depression but a very interesting read all the same!
Hi Julia:
Not sure that this site is what I was exactly looking for. I have Bi-Polar 1 disorder and am looking for others to connect with to see why I have the social problems I do. I see a psychiatrist but I still run into several panic attacks and I depend on my significant other so much that he is feeling like I don't trust him. I am honestly just scared when he is away that I will have an attack and not keep it under control. What to do here in N.W. Indiana??????
