Hi. I'm new here. I read when I can. I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 5 years ago. Anxiety is a prime symptom of mine. At the time I was diagnosed I felt like I was circling the drain. There are many times I'm unconvinced that I'm truly bipolar. I think I was pretty functional most of the time before diagnosis, but those close to me are adament in saying that I wasn't. I'm going through something - not exactly sure what - right now so it may be time to start monkeying with my meds again.

This is a great site to come and not feel so alone with this. My family is well-meaning, but they don't know what to make of me.
