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?
