I'm new to forum, and also new to the idea that I may be bipolar. I haven't been to a doctor or diagnosed with anything yet, but I have alarmingly similar symptoms to the disorder. Some fellow members, and close friends and my boyfriend believe I may have the disorder, and have encouraged me to look more into the matter, and I also scored a 49 on the bipolar screening test. But thing is, I don't know what to do from here. All I know is that I want to get a grip on my emotions, because it's ruining my life one step at a time. Could somebody help me out? What steps do I take to get diagnosed. Where I can learn more about treatment types? What different types of BPD are there? How do you handle it? Any information or advise will be greatly appreciated, and a friendly word or two never hurt anyone. Thanks to all who reply, and also, thanks to the people who made this website for people like me, who are in need of help.
