I'm 34 and was diagnosed bipolar II, obsessive compulsive last week. I've always known my emotions were a little more larger than life than my friends, but I come from a family of very destructive manic men. Many of my cousins have bipolar 1, but it just never occurred to me those thoughts were rapid cycling and that my anxiety, depression and ADD were not the only problems. Accepting not just this label, but what it means for the rest of my life was one of the hardest things I've had to do. I'm glad I found this forum.
