New Girl on the Block
Hi! I'm Connie. I'm 31 and was diagnosed as bipolar at 12 - back when they didn't think kids could be bipolar. I'm also borderline personality. It's fun being me. LOL.

Thanks! I've never really had other bipolar people to talk with, so I'm excited that I found these boards.

Re: New Girl on the Block
Hi,
I add my welcome to you. Do you take meds and see a therapist?
Also, for borderline, DBT can work wonders. If you can find classes in that (mental health centers often have them), it'd be worth your while, I think.
Hope to hear more from you. There is a lot of help on this board.

Re: New Girl on the Block
I'm on Seroquel at night. I'm not all that thrilled with it - but I deal with it.
I've done DBT therapy. I do a version of it now with my case manager. As soon as I get my license, I'll be getting a job as a DBT peer advocate.
