Hi. I got diagnosed in 2006 but didn't believe it. I had a horrible depression in 2010 then went manic and felt completely tortured for about 7 months. then my husband left me for another woman. i quit my job because i was about to be fired. my husband is turning my kids against me. my life is in shambles because of this illness. sorry to sound so pitiful but things aren't going great for me. I really hate this illness.
