hello all, i'm nikki, age 30 and mother of a 2 year old son. i have many diagnoses and have just recently (within the past 2 months) been diagnosed with bipolar 2. i'm still trying to figure out what this means for me. i have not been stable enough to work since december and whenever i think about working again i have panic attacks. i have applied for disability but i know most people are denied, at least the first time, which is discouraging.

anyway, my biggest problems are anxiety and panic attacks. is that something you have to wait to level out or are there other things the doctor can do? i plan to ask him next time i see him in 2 weeks.

anyway, that's me. glad to have found you all.
