I also posted alot on the boards in the past weeks as I was confused about my illness(glad to connect with other people who are bipolar since in my country we don't really have support groups except for the big cities) and I was also going through an especially rough patch (mixed episodes, starting University then stopping, suspected lamictal rash) with no support and understanding. I appreciate every hug, thanks and response. I read most posts, but now that I'm in a bit of a dip, I don't really respond in time. I hope I haven't been too annoying
