Hello everyone. I just joined the forum today, after receiving my BP diagnosis recently. I've dealt with anxiety and depression for years, but my problems kept recurring and cycling, which lead to my diagnosis. A recent bad manic episode has really frightened me, and I'm on some new meds now to hopefully make me more stable. I thought I would join a forum to get some support from people who understand what it is like to live with BP. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!
