I was told many many years ago that I had depression.
I paid it no attention and just went on with my life.
I always had issues much the same as everyone is expressing.
Also many issues as a child.
When I had children I was able to hold it together for many years even though
inside I was in total turmoil, happy one day sad the next, not able to see things
clearly unable to sleep, in a very unhappy marriage on and on.
I was almost 50 years old when I got the bipolar diagnosis which made so much
sense to me. I finally got it, I had an answer to what was wrong with me.
The meds have helped to keep me stable for the most part.
I wish I knew 30 years ago that I was bipolar.
