Hi everyone.

I'm 24 years old and have suffered with mental illness all my life, as you all know the road towards the correct diagnosis is a long one with many errors so I was only just diagnosed with Bipolar this year.

The medication changes have been hard on my mental and physical health but now that I am on anti-psychotics things seem to be improving a little. They say that all of these changes will be worth while in the end....I'm still waiting for that time to come.

I also got married this year, it was beautiful but sadly it was overshadowed by everything that was going on. I have a great husband but I feel lonely a lot because not many people in my life understand what it's like.

Knowing the mechanics of mental illness is different to knowing how it actually feels.

So I'm hoping I can find a different type of support network here.

=)
