Hello, my name is Rory and I have been struggling with Bi-polar I for at least 10 years now, and while I am currently more stable than I have been for several years I feel the need to reach out for support in this forum. I have had a remarkable turn around after undergoing ECT treatments, have been on the same meds for a year and they seem to work fairly well. I also have been drug and tobacco free for nearly a year. I guess the trouble I experience most is dealing with the stigma of mental ilness and not having anyone other than a therapist to talk to. I look forward to getting to know people who can relate in one way or another. Thanks.
