Hello, I am new to all of this. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago with type II Bipolar. I have a long and complicated story that I will share as time goes on. I live in Kansas; married for the second time; have one son from first marriage who has a large part of the complcated story; I am a licensed masters level social worker, I consider myself retired at this point. I decided to join this group because I often times find myself feeling alone and misunderstood. My hope is too connect with others who can help me to navigate through times when my mind feels as though it is trying to kill me. Thanks for listening.
