Hey, what's happening? Just found this site today and I wanted to post something about my situation in case anyone has any advice. I am bipolar II, and have been on lithium Extended Release since early April this year. Prior to that, I drank very frequently and have had many alcohol related misdemeanor arrests (5 in the last five years). For what it's worth, fortunately none of them were felonies. Now, today I am 36, and again, while I am finally stable, so many years have been lost. I no longer have the resources or awesome opportunities looming ahead like I did just a few short years ago. I have a master's degree in a health related field (three years ago graduated), which is better than not having anything, and I can substantiate a continuous work history for the past few years but not in my field. I don't know; it just really sucks that I finally know what works for me (lithium) but now my prospects are gone?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
