Hi everyone...I believe this is my first post here. Today I received a tentative diagnosis of Bipolar I, because of my issues with depression AND I have been through one manic (or psychotic) episode. I am frustrated that it took them about a month of me staying in the hospital to diagnose me, but I'm now glad we can figure out how to deal with my issues.
Not too long ago (maybe a couple weeks?) I posted on the Borderline board because I thought I'd get diagnosed with that. But I only have a few borderline traits, and I've heard that bipolar and borderline are often diagnosed as each other by mistake. So I guess this is my little intro here. Hello!  I have been a member for quite a bit, first time coming here. I hope to learn about my disorder quite a bit. If anyone has any sources that are good for learning about bipolar, that'd be great.

Hi there and welcome! You'll soon realise what a supportive forum this is. It's very active and there really is so much you can learn from each other.
Don't worry about your diagnosis (as in, don't stress about it); it's easier to have an explanation than not know! |

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