I was just diagnosed in October so I know what that feels like. Knowing something is wrong and finally getting a name put on it and help.
Hopefully the meds start making you feel more normal soon.

Hi Bonkers. I have been tentatively diagnosed for about a year...basically my docs call me mood disorder NOS, but probably some form of bipolar. Been on Seroquel for about a year and it saved my life, truly. Thank God for a doctor who cared enough to fish around for a diagnosis when everyone else just threw drugs at me.
Glad to hear you are feeling better, and hope the meds level things out for you. |

Hi, ((((((BonKers)))))) <<-- those are hugs
I'm not a BP (I'm a borderline personality disorder). So, I'm sort of a 'cousin' I guess. A trigger is when you talk about something that might upset someone who's mentally fragile -- for example, talk about anger or hospitalization or suicide. Basically, if you just surround yourself with the love and caring that comes from this forum, you'll be ok. Welcome!! Hugs. Barb |

Hi BonKers, nice to meet you. I'm 38 and have had a dx of BP II for about three years. I think I might have known it sooner, like back in 99' and 2000 when seeing the previous T I saw before my current T. I'm glad you joined us. I think it's a great forum to call home.
