Welcome to PC

Im sorry you are going thru all this But, Im glad you got diagnosed and started on medication. The medication can take sometime to get in your system and work properly.
Do you have a Therapist to see ? "Most" medicated Bipolars' need Meds and talk Therapy .
Having family not really understanding is unfortunate but family can "come around" once they start to realize there are parts of bipolar that can and cannot just "fix its self "
Again welcome to PC we are all a really friendly bunch around here . Feel free to post all you need .
