I kind of don't know if this post belongs here nor where I'd write it, but today my doctor told me that I probably have bipolar and I know little about it (I know I'm on my way to reading the posts on the site), but I wanted to, I don't know, hear from the others about it?

Welcome
It's basically your out of normal range of emotions. Your happy's are to happy, sad's to sad, anger is to angry. Your to speed up or to slowed down. You have to much energy or to little energy. You can have any of these symptoms at any time.

Check out PsychEducation | Treating the Mood Spectrum It's written by a psychiatrist who specializes in bipolar and is very informative, especially when you are new. I still check things there and I've been diagnosed for 15 years.
