I am a 28 year old special ed teacher living in Los Angeles. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a little over a year ago.

I have had emotional issues almost my whole life. I was always a very sensitive kid who would cry easily and cared what others thight, and who couldnt stand to let anyone down. I tried to talk to my Mom before that I thought there was something more than depression going on here and she just ket telling me it was situational because I didn't like the private high school that I attended.

It was a relief to be diagnosed as Bipolar II. My symptoms can be anywhere from overconfidence, self-assured, high energy, out going, irritable, volatile, easy to anger, paranoid, sad, insecure, apologetic, excessive crier etc.

I have had a difficult time maintaining long lasting relationships with friends or men. I currently have a few friends (not a clique) but they are older than me and are married with a family. So I end up going out alone all the time...and it can be very lonesome. I also dont have much family..altho close to my mom..who being with reminds me of all of the behavio that I do.

I look forward to meeting new people on here.

I am an attractive, kind, caring, empathetic person usually. Circ
