you don't have to be BP to have mood swings!!

It is the severity and are they interfering with your life or has your family seen one too many Ablify or lamictal adz...

Bi Polar is the new IN illness.... I would love to get rid of this part of fitting in though!!!!

Why do they think you are bipolar when the doctors have said you are depressed?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
