Been dealing with this for a bit now and saw my counselor today. She told me that I am showing signs of BP. She said I was in a bad manic state today and she gave me meds. I hate this because I want things fixed right now but I know they aren't going to be. I really am not sure what to expect but I guess we will see. So I am new here and just wanted to say hi.

Welcome! I am pretty new myself. I have already made a lot of friends and got a lot of support. This is the place to be if you are bp.

hello. i'm glad you found us.
make sure you read all the side affects of whatever meds he/she gave you. just so you know what to expect. most of them are very mild and will go away in a week or two.
but i hope that they hlp you. and for now, while you're manic, leave all your credit cards at home. maybe even you bank card.
good luck.

Thanks so much for all your support and offers for friendship. It sure helps to know that you have people that understand what you are going through. I have people in my life that don't have a clue. Even after you try and explain it to them. They say it is still something that you can control or snap out of or whatever. Sure wish I could!
