I’ve learned so much from this forum and not always about bipolar disorder. When I needed to have a nerve test for carpal tunnel, I was scared. I brought it up here and got several responses letting me know what to expect.

I’ve also learned a lot about the spectrum of bipolar symptoms...some the same and some vastly different from mine.

Mostly, I’ve learned that I’m not alone. These wonderful folks get it when people close to me irl can’t or won’t.
