Hi Tamara!

I'm new myself (lurked for a few days then joined in about 3 weeks ago). I find the bipolar site very comforting because in my everyday life I only know one other BP person (my cousin) and she doesn't live nearby, though we call each other frequently. It's great to be able to connect to an entire community of people who share BP and go through similar struggles with depression, mania, hospitalizations, P-docs and meds...I find it very therapeutic and comforting. Hope you will as well.
