Bipolar I and borderline. ZTurns out that the two things they kept flitting back and forth between are what I end up getting diagnosed with... they got the results of the neuropsych exam that I'd taken in Nov. 2007, they talked to me more than I think I've ever talked to anyone about the crap that I've been dealing with, and I actually feel like they give a damn about me... I told them things I've never told ANYONE. I'm on Seroquel for starters... by Thursday night, I'll be up to 300. My doc believes in starting out on the meds like a baby with solids... one thing at a time, so you know what side effects are which and so that we can find out what works for me. I like it... way less complicated than anything else I've dealt with. I'm still just kinda numb to it all.

At least you have some answers, and a team that cares. Numb is normal I believe at this point.
Do you like hugs?  If you don't you can ignore them LOL

Hi Sweet Pea,
I'm very happy for you! It's sounds for sure that you have an A-1 team. So glad you have the right diagnosis and will receive proper care. You are so right about telling them everything. That is what makes you part of the team. Without all your facts & symptoms (old & new) they don't have all the pieces to your puzzle. You've done a great job--now they can help you for sure. Remember to stay in touch - let us know how you are doing. JourneyUpward
