Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder & PTSD over 20 years ago & have been doing my best over the years to get by. Some days are better than others. I've been on the same combination of meds for a few years and I think this is the best I can hope for. Still, there are days when I really wish I could feel good without approaching mania.

The things that help me most are writing and drawing. I've kept a journal for years--that helps. So does having a couple of people in my life who understand and don't judge me. I have a hard time leaving the house most days, so online connection is a lifesaver.
