This forum is so huge, so I thought I'd say hello here in the Bipolar section.
I'm in my mid-twenties, diagnosed last year with Bipolar 2. I have psychotic features as well but haven't told the doctor about them yet... I'm intending to, tomorrow. Bipolar has been a part of my life for about eight years now and depression for a lot longer.
I'm not in a very good place right now, a lot of stress with possibly moving house, possibly leaving my church, my supervisor at work retiring soon, and it's bringing out some psychosis I haven't dealt with before, and that does scare me. The thought of taking antipsychotics scares me too though.
Right now I'm taking divalproex (Epival) 500mg and Wellbutrin 150 mg.
I live in rural Canada and have a part-time job in town, and my life isn't really all that interesting.
