Hi there. I didn't see a "introduce yourself" section (or may be I'm overlooking it), so I'll just post this here.
I started showing signs of bipolar disorder as early as age 8. I have been on about every drug out there and finally found what's right for me about 7ish years ago. I was diagnosed officially when I was a senior in high school.
I'm here because I'm wanting to help others more than anything. I may need some help or advice from time to time, but I'd rather help others.
I've written essays about drugs I have been on, what it's like to be ____, my own personal experiences, and would like to share these things with others who may find helpful.
Through years of experience and research I have found ways to cope and different ways of approaching a problem. I now know from listening to my body if something is "coming on" or if I'm just having a bad day. (Or incredibly good day. Or a strange day. Or whatever day).
So if anyone has any questions, need advice, whatever it may be please feel free to message me and I'll try to give you my best and help you through it.
I hope this post doesn't sound like "I know more than you, I'm better than you", I'm seriously just here to help and share things that may be of help to others.
I also like cats.
