Hello, lil, I'm kind of new here, too. Thanks for introducing yourself! I'm more than twice your age, dx bipolar II. Was stable on meds since January 2014, but crashing the last month and this month -- up and down. I'm creative. I just learned to crochet, and made myself a vest. That's the greatest thing that's happened lately. I also draw with charcoal, and play the mandolin. The crochet and knitting are especially helpful when I'm down. What do you do for fun?
