I have been recently diagnosed Bipolar and ADHD and all I have been doing the past 2 weeks is obsessing over when it first started happening and how I could have prevented it. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and refused to accept it. It's been really hard being unmedicated and I have progressively gotten worse. I no longer work, feel like a terrible mother and put my boyfriend through total hell. I finally drug myself out of bed and went and got on medication. Earlier today, I sat down and wrote out what I could remember of my manic and depressed states and what could have possibly triggered them.

I'm happy to have found this group. Everyone's stories and support seem wonderful. I look forward to taking this adventure called life with you guys.
