Exactly, sugahorse, but pretty much the opposite. No one recognized my mixed episodes until I was flying like a kite. They had seen my depression, but not until I went into major mania and hospitalization, did my T and my pdoc realize I had bipolar disorder. And no one recognized the seriousness of my illness until it was too late. And thankfully, I'm here to write about it.....greylove
