I have recently been diagnosed with bp. It is a relief and very scary at the same time. I have since come to understand and recognize when I am in a cycle. It is scary, but I am learning to react appropriately. It's tough, I tend to be mixed and a rapid cycler. At least 4 episodes since November of 07. For the first time I do not feel the turmoil that I have struggled with for so long. It is wonderful. I am no longer ashamed of the disease (yes, I have it but I am not it.) I do discuss it more readily and look at it as a way to teach others and disperse the stereotypes of those around me.

Hoping you make it through this time.

thanks
I found out yesterday (11/12/07) that I most likely am bipolar. To be honest it scares the sh_t out of me. I like to feel like I am in control - now I find out that I haven't been for a long time. Currently I am working through my anger at the medical field. This isn't the first time in my life that I have been misdiagnosed. How can you go to "professionals" for so long and they just don't get it. So, I'm coming to terms right now - time wlll tell with the rest.
My daughter was dxed with aspergers about 1 yr ago. I am always looking for ways to help her. I am bipolar - so things get rather interesting. My daughter is 12 and definitly preteen.
I currently weigh 275lbs. My goal weight is 165lbs. I have always been a larger person, but generally keep my weight even. In the last 8 years I put on more and more. I need to change it and hope I get the support here.
