Hi, my name is Tommy. I am 60 now and was diagnosed some 12 years ago with bipolar 1 and anxiety. I have been hospitalized 8 times and have had ECT 12 times. My current meds seem to be working well and my psychiatrist says that I am doing very well with my anxiety. Lately I have been very irritated and snarky. I am also a type 2 diabetic. I am married (40 years) and have no kids.
