Hi. I'm new here. I live in Omaha, Nebraska, a city in the middle of the USA. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (originally Bipolar II, but it was later changed to Bipolar I) in the summer of 2001 after my first year of college. Although major episodes seem to crop up now and then, I have found medication and therapy to be extremely helpful in managing it. I seem to be going through a little bit of a rough patch again, so I thought I'd look into finding a forum in order to vent and ask for support. I'm excited to be here.
