Hi, I'm newly diagnosed Bipolar II, fresh out of the hospital last week due to a manic episode. My nickname is Sippi, because I'm living in MS now and am 49 y.o. I've been in and out of hospitals over the years and it's taken this long to be diagnosed. I'm relieved, yet embarrassed. I'm on lithium, latuda and lamictal. I look forward to learning more about my illness and "accepting" it.
