Hi... I was recently diagnosed with bipolar II. It is a terrifying and confusing thing for me, oftentimes. I feel almost like I am two people, one that's really me and another that's defined by my manic episodes. I feel confused about which one is really the real me, because the thoughts and feelings are so different. I have started a new antidepressant after being on Zoloft for many years, and have also added trileptal as a mood stabilizer.

...Anyway, I'm new to the diagnosis, but not to the disorder. I have been unknowingly living with it for many years now. I'm reaching out to people like me.
