Hi guys, I'm Marlowe and I'm 28, and have been dealing with bipolar disorder probably most of my life, but was officially diagnosed in 2012 after a hospitalization. I don't know anyone else, really, who has bipolar, and though my friends and some of my family try to understand, it's not really the same thing. I've been struggling a lot lately, and am just hoping to get some help and advice from this community.
