I'm a newbie, this is my first message. After years (14 to be exact) I was finally diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Like everyone else, hard to accept... Like everyone else, handed down from my mother and her mother... Like everyone else, relationships suffer...Like everyone else looking, for the perfect drug combo...Like everyone else, blessed to be here.
Welcome to the boards.
Like you it took them a while to diagnose me (13-30 undiagnosed)
Like you, my Grandma had Bipolar
Like you I am glad you found us!!!!
Times are that when a comfort can become more than just a place of rest but a place of wisdom, then, true comfort is there..and here!!!!
It is a place that one can feel and say without rejection and lack of understanding. You have support and, I might add, similar, as you listed, circumstances which means a definite approach to matters..as well as just feeling happy!!!
I feel accepted and there are a lot of places where I reside, that don’t , and here I am ok, safe, and open..
Welcome, and just be you…
