Hi everyone! I'm new here so I thought I'd put my two bobs worth in.
I only found this site yesterday and already am impressed with the discussion and advice it conjures up.

I was diagnosed bp last year although the symptoms first surfaced when I was about 17. I'm now 23. I know I don't have to tell you guys and gals how difficult this time has been... I've had many issues to get through and conquer - substance abuse, identity crisis', self-injury... and I know I came through it all relatively unscathed due to a wonderful support system of close family and friends.... and the meds that now guide me gently along the road of stability.

Anyway, I'm now at University studying psychology and sociology and who knows what the future will bring. I still have my up and down days (I had a couple of rough days recently which may have been why I hunted down this site) but I feel I'm nearly over it now.

I just want to say hello to everyone, I think it's great that people of all flavours can unite at a website like this one and to wish everyone a wonderful new year ahead.
