Hi Theresa,

Welcome to PC and to the Bipolar Forum.

I, too, had been diagnosed with severe atypical depression for many years. In time, my diagnosis was changed to Bipolar Depression. I am very sorry you are without family support. This must be very difficult. Have you looked for a IRL support group in your area?

I hope you will find the information and the support you may be seeking.
Please do jump in and make yourself at home.

I hope to see you around the forums.
