Thank you for this forum. Thanks so much everybody for sharing. Two years ago my pdoc told me I was bipolar and I said "No I'm not"!! I came on these forums for awhile but drifted away. Two weeks ago my new pdoc said yes I am bipolar. I think he's right.

Your posts in this forum made me realize that yes I am bipolar, and that I'm not alone. A lot of you do the very same things that I do.

I feel that I'm not alone in the world anymore and I feel validated. It's a very good feeling, one that I haven't had for years and years. I feel like I found a lot of new friends and a home here at psychcentral.

Thank you all so much.

Also, I've been getting 2-3 hours sleep for the past month, with some very bad results. I was taking 5 mg of melatonin every night. Friday night I forgot to take my melatonin and I slept 7 hours. Last night I slept 8. I guess here in Canada I should only take melatonin in the winter. I feel very rested.
I'm also very happy to be back here on psychcentral. Thank you all.
