Hi everyone,

My name is Robert, or komodo1971 on this board. I just registered here. I might completely flood this board when I'm manic or simply withdraw when I'm depressed; just so you know. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 a month or 6 ago, and before that time I was undiagnosed and untreated for years. Looking back, my bipolar issues already started in adolescence, when I was about 18. I struggled for nearly 30 years. In that time I was diagnosed with so many different mental health issues, including but certainly not limited to borderline personality, antisocial personality disorder, PTSD, uni-polar depression and many, many more. The PTSD diagnosis still stands, together with the bipolar type 1 disorder.


I take lithium, aripiprazole and seroquel to stay as stable as possible.


I live in the Netherlands, and I am married. I have a job, but they want to get rid of me due to the fact that I have been ill too much.


Just wanted to say Hi!
