Hi there, and welcome! You’re in the right place.😊 I’m 63 with bipolar 1, didn’t even get diagnosed till age 53. I’d had symptoms throughout most of my life since I was 5, but didn’t put all the pieces together until I had a meltdown in 2012 that just about took me out. I’m so glad I let myself be treated, I know without a doubt that I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t.

I hope you enjoy your time with us. Feel free to ask questions, someone is always around here even in the dead of night. Take care.
