Hi I am new to this thread...diagnosed with bi-polar about 3 years ago,but know it has been with me all my life. I am having a hard time right now,going thru mood swings from minute to minute. My doctor doesn't really listen to me when I talk about this,and that frustrates me.I feel I have been in a depressed mood for about 3 months now. I find myself just wanting to stay home by myself and not deal with the outside world. I am currnetly living alone. I have been married three times and feel my disease has affected all of those marriages. Never had a good support group,my daughter tells me to quit blaming my disease for my actions. If she only knew how hard it is to not do that. Just needed a little venting today,thanks for listening.
