Between (age 6) then and now I've had some friends, drank a bit, Did some typical teenage nonsense, gotten married , had a child, worked 3 jobs at numerous times. I worked one whole year 365 days working 3 jobs and I never missed a day. I got divorced , raised my daughter shes a 22 beautiful smart talented and has BP I .
The only issue I have in regards to Bipolar for me is whether I need medications or not.

Wow I admire you and wish I could accept it as easy. It's not a matter of shame or trying to hide my dx.
I've lost so much directly after being dx'd. i had so many triggers so I avoided a lot of things, things i use to do and reslly enjoyed. like going to football games) friends walked away ( only one comes ard but not often. We did not hang out all winter long), I lost my job during a manic episode and the cognitive difficulties are really pissing me off. I miss reading, being able to speak and form a sentence all the time, I miss knowing that I know the driving rules and will not pull out in front of a car. I'm going to pray abt this but just need to know how others worked through it.
