I'm Elaynal and I am new as well. I have known about my bipolar for a long time and I treat taking my medications like a holy ritual. lol I know what happens when I don't take them.. I have had many lost relationships. I still experience times of difficulty, depression, hypo-mania, and even manic, in times of stress. I'm hoping to learn about coping skills, others with experience and ways to draw on a group for support. Thanks!
