Hi! I'm Timothy. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder about a year ago. I was what I'd call a functional Manic Depressive for my life after High School (I'm 25). Oddly enough, I joined the Army right after High School. I didn't know I had Bipolar at the time, but I do think it's what got me to go into the Army. The last year has been a learning experience for me and my mother (she also has Bipolar II). I've pretty much had Bipolar symptoms my entire life looking back, but I think everyone (including myself) just assumed I was an emotional kid. Being a bit of a writer, I could type a novel here, but I'll stop at that. Just wanted to introduce myself.
Thanks for this!
