Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 on 11/24. I spent 8 days in the hospital after what I now know was a manic episode. It was a terrifying experience. I am still trying to wrap my mind around my diagnosis and all that comes with it. Lithium has been a blessing but I do think it is making me tired and I am tired to begin with due to my thyroid level being too high.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.
