Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Roamed wild for about three years. Went through this back and forth state self-medicating with drugs until September of 2006 when I finally received the BP diagnosis.
I would say the classic "and we all lived happily ever after" but I think everyone here knows that's not quite true.
Put on zoloft and went into severe manic episode for 3m0nths.
Diagnosed bipolar 1. Ended up in hospital after suicide attempt. Given comorbid dx of borderline personality disorder.
Age of Rx 23 at 33 i still don't have the right meds as I am sensitive.
19 when hit on the head with a frying pan.
28 when walking down a street a piano fell on me.It was being winched up by some removal company.
That explains it all dear.

I was diagnosed as BP1 in 1995.
I was 35 then.
Many times ppl do not get properly diagnosed for years .. I believe some are born with it.
Onset of severe mental illness at 33, but refused to see pdocs, so... no dx...
...until 36. They mistakenly dx'd me w/schizophrenia.
Properly dx'd after a suicide attempt at age 40... schizoaffective, bipolar type.
