Hi everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself...really been struggling lately, job hopped a fair bit because I'd be great at it one minute and unable to get out of bed the next, don't know how I managed to make it through uni.

Had a suicide attempt last year and voluntarily went into a ward because I needed to cut the cycle, still been up and down since.

Doctor referred me to a psych again who said he's pretty certain I've got bipolar 2 but it took me a long time to even acknowledge it because I feared the stigma and I just tried to cling on. Ended up slipping a lot the last couple of weeks, and I'm coming to my wits end. Going to do as the doc says and get the lamotragine they suggested, but I don't know if it'll work.

I don't know what's going to happen, what I should do really. Will I ever get any stability? Is my career ruined, I have no idea what to think about all this.

Anyway, I've had a look round and you all look like nice folks

Hope you are all doing ok
