Just introducing myself

Hello everyone. I am new here and would just like to say hi. I was diagnosed with bipolar 5 years ago, but there has always been something wrong, ever since I can remember. I have just had a couple of rough months, being manic. It snuck up on me. I should have known something was wrong when I went to buy a new sterio coz mine wasn't loud enough and then danced like crazy for 5 hours. But I was just so happy. It ended with me taking leave off work and slowly getting stable, but at the moment I am doing really well. I have had a lot of heartache because of the bp and lost alot, but I try to stay positive, even though it can be very hard. Anyway, I am just babbling on. I hope I make some new friends here as I am really happy that I have found this site. It is great how everyone is so supportive. Thanks for listening.

Welcome munchie. I was a high school student who spent most of the time really depressed. In fact, I was suicidal a few times, but I made it through. I hope you find the support here that you need.

    It's hard to talk about, but she had fought cancer for 10 months. We had worked together for 10 years when they found her tumor. I have a psychologist I have been seeing him weekly since they discovered her tumor. It was one of her last gifts to me that I would be taken care of! My psychologist was her boss but we knew each other well and it made a traumatic time a bit less traumatic! she was...

    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...
