I too welcome you.
these are great boards and a great place to learn how to cope with the changes that you are making.
Do you have a therapist who could help you thru this adjustment, a good therapist is invaluable for many people with bipolar disorder. Whith this disorder we have much baggage that usually goes hand and hand, I hope you have good family and friends to help you thru this as well.
I wish you wellness.
