Welcome! Like Trippin said, we're a good supportive group, and believe me, we know what you're going through. Nothing is happening to you that at least one person here can't relate to, so you can rest assured that you are NOT alone.
I'm recently dx'd too, BP-NOS, but I think that's going to change because I'm just now starting to come out of a full-blown manic phase, which will probably kick me into BP 2 or even 1. Not that the designation really matters, because it's all bipolar and I don't like it! It's funny that I'm a registered nurse and know all the stuff I do about diagnoses and medications, but when the patient is ME, I suddenly go stupid, LOL.
I hope you'll come here often, ask questions, and share your own wisdom as you grow more knowledgeable about your illness. It's amazing how quickly we BP'ers are able to learn once we accept our diagnosis (a thing some of us are still working on). Best wishes to you!
