You will think I'm crazy but I would rather have anything but a mental problem. Thats bad to say I know, but I am honest.. I'm beginning to feel like a burden here, all I do is complain.

Hi,
Only one person said it took 4-5 years. That was me.
My very first pyschiatrist dx'd me as bipolar and made a lithium plan during my first appointment.
The lithium was a bad choice for me but once I was put on it, the other pdocs didn't think to take me off it. --Hence the 4-5 years until I got a decent med plan.
Most people get straightened out pretty well fairly soon after the dx.
