When I heard from the doctor for the first time that I'm probably bipolar, I thought that it was the end of my life. But I'm also relieved by the idea that my problem has a name and there are ways how to treat it. It's complicated.

Now I'm trying hard to understand that bipolar (or whatever it is) is not my only characteristic.
Just wanted to say hi and wanted to let you know it gets easier with time.
Many of us can attest to the fact that getting a BP diagnosis is not the end of your life. It is likely that the more you and your doctor know about your diagnosis, you may be treated better and may have a better life!

I hope you feel at home to participate here.
I also hope to see you around here more often!
