Hi Composer,

It's great to see you here at PsychCentral and more specifically on this Bipolar Forum.

There are heaps of awesome members here

Yeah I can remember my first manic episode and afterwards I was like wow! Can't believe I did most of that.

But we live and learn and pick up patterns in our behaviour as we go along.

Always remember this: You are not your diagnosis.

Sure, you will go through episodes of having Bipolar symptoms.

But you are still the same person the day before someone decided to "label" some of these symptoms for you.

I look forward to seeing you around these forums more often
