I just realized that I was suffering from bipolar disorder for a lot longer than I thought I have been. When I was younger I was hyperactive, depressed, unable to concentrate, prone to panic attacks, and I was easily frustrated. It's so strange looking back and seeing how long I have been living with these symptoms. I just upped my dose of abilify and I'm hoping that my BP goes into remission.

When was the first time you had a BP episode? Do you remember? What was it like?
