Hi there...I was diagnosed with bipolar almost exactly a year ago after a reaction to Zoloft sent me into mania, probably the scariest thing I have ever experienced. Before that I had struggled with depression and intense anxiety, and truly thought I was just crazy and I would have to live that way forever. I was put on different meds after the Zoloft catastrophe and have been on them for a year. The thoughts I had during that confusing time still haunt me daily, which leads me to believe there could be different forms of treatment that would help me feel stable on a more consistent basis. I have never been to any type of group therapy and have never got the chance to talk to someone with bipolar about being bipolar, so I look forward to meeting some of you and hearing about your experiences
