Yahoo & Google Groups

I started two groups to help promote this website. The first one is Between Bipolar by the Yahoo search engine. The second is NH Bipolar Advocacy by the google search engine.

I am aiming at promoting advocacy through helping other bipolars with their ability to obtain social security disability benefits (if they do qualify). Simply having bipolar disorder is not enough to obtain the benefits, however I want to make people aware that their are benefits out there, especially to people of NH, USA.

I don't suppose this web blog will be popular anytime soon, as Bipolar Disorder is not so specialized, but advocating for people in NH, with bipolar for social security disability benefits is specialized. I will maintain those two web groups as well as this web blog until I see progress in popularity and membership. My goal in the first year is to find ways to promote my site and doing so online is one avenue. I should go to several outlets, or places where I've been treated for bipolar and leave resources there, either with people I've dealt with or even on the bulletin boards on their walls.

In the first year, I don't expect a high level of membership, although it would be nice. I'd like to have a small goal of obtaining perhaps 12 followers. One for each month I am writing in the first year.

These web groups are open to anyone, especially those who live in NH seeking social security benefits. I figure that I might be able to advocate for those who have sought out sources that require payment. No one should have to pay for benefits that they would get for free, if they were nudged a little and had patience and the willingness to learn a little first. I never had to pay anyone to obtain the over $1400/month I receive. So, my goal is to really promote these groups so that bipolars of NH have a free resource at their fingertips.

I am sure that followers of this website won't just be seeking out advice or advocacy, I am certain that other professionals will give their two cents in as well, maybe help me and them along the way.
