Hi there, everyone! My name's Caroline, and I was diagnosed with bipolar II about six and a half years ago. I think that for a long time, I was in denial about what that diagnoses meant for me and the people around me, but due to a recent traumatic event, I'm coming to grips with the terrifying reality that has been my life while my disorder has been untreated. I guess that I'm here because I feel little support and understanding in my "real" life and want to feel a sense of community.
