I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and panic disorder a little over 3 years ago and have finally gotten the guts to start posting on these message boards. I have been on meds the whole time and stable for a little over 2 years with Abilify and Lexapro.

During this time I have been trying to write my Master's thesis. My question to anyone who wants to answer is...Do any of you find writing to be a huge chore. I just have a really hard time getting my thoughts from my brain to the computer screen and its not like they are racing or anything. It's like my mind is doesn't think correctly anymore.

My psych nurse suggested that it came easier before my diagnosis because I may have been manic and didn't know it. However, I've only had 1 episode (when I was diagnosed) and I know that I was not manic or hypo-manic during grad school. If anything I suffered from depression throughout college.

Any thoughts?
