I am lucky enough to have a husband who "gets it" & meds that work. Took 5 years to get the right combo of meds. I was 46 when diagnosed, so suffered a Lot. Marriage of 27 years has survived ups & downs. There are people out there who care & are kiind. I'm in 3 writing clubs & those people are great. I've told a few & nobody has judged me or made me feel weird. In fact, one revealed that she has bipolar disorder! Things will get better for you!! Don't give up on people.
