Hi Ya'll. I have just been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder as well as a list of other illnesses- anxiety, social phobia, agorphobia, panic attacks the list just goes on After seeking and getting help for years now they just managed to diagnose me with Bipolar. Luckly for me I know what its like, my sister has bipolar and I see the changes in her weekly and sometimes even daily. Just searching for a group to learn some knowlege from and to not feel so alone with all of this. I have no friends and Im sure even if I did I wouldnt tell them whats going on because I find it very hard for people that are "normal" to truly understand what it feels like to have something so wrong with them they are frightened to walk out of their own house or to make actual friends. I hope I have chosen the site that fits right for what i am seeking.
Hugs from:

Welcome to PC Tonnieg!!! I hope it will fit what you need. Like Buggs said, people here are quite supportive, and there is a vast array of knowledge here. Plus it's just nice knowing others "get" you and that you have a safe place to talk.

I hope you like it here and your needs are met. Looking forward to hearing more about you.
Thanks for this!

Hi! Yes, you'll find much good information from these wonderful people. I kindof feel like the 'free radical' in the group, but I'm also new here, and just got diagnosed a couple months ago or so.

So... welcome!
