I'm an out-going, kind-hearted, funny ol' Irish gal who happens to have bipolar disorder. I started showing signs age 12 and was diagnosed age 16...bit of a bummer as my whole life since then has been all about my illness. To be honest I'm pretty bitter about it still. I've never been part of a group like this as my parents, up until pretty recently, have managed every aspect of my bipolar....including keepeing it a secret from anyone but our immediate family. Whenever I did tell people, other than my best friends, things seemed to go downhill fast. I'm on loads of meds but they seem to be working, thank god! Took nearly 10 years to get them right. Anyway, I have a great family, a great boyfriend and great pals...not to mention my fab and gorgeous jack russels Louis and Arnie. I had two others, Eddison an Fletcher but they died 3 years ago. Not to end on a bum note...things are lookin' up, I have a great job working with the Irish wheelchair association. We have two groups; the "old" group and the "young" group. The older group are mostly stroke survivors and the younger group is a mixture. They all have given me a new lease of life for which I am so thankful! We have loads of fun!

I am a 25 year old Irish woman and I've been dealing with Bipolar since I was about 12. I was diagnosed at 16 and am only now experiencing a bit of normality. This illness sucks!! I am a walking side affect but mentally I feel great, thank god :)
