I have been living in New Zealand for 10 years and recently moved to Australia and have found no support groups for bipolar so far and so holding the fort alone at the moment. Thanks for your comments and hope to be in touch with you all at some stage throughout my time on this forum or on BP.
Take care and have a great week. George.
