I am relativly new around here so SOMEONE suggested I introduce myself on the boards. Here's my attempt:Just this month I've been dx with BP2. Before I was just treated for depression. Not really sure what to think of it all yet but hey, live nad learn I guess. Not much else to say about that. It is what it is and you all know just as much but probably more than I do about it.

Now the fun stuff: I LOVE meeting new people. It's a curse and a blessing. I'll talk to anyone once even if they are creepy. Adventures are the true spice of life. I love traveling anywhere and everywhere. I will proudly admit that I collect a rock from each state I go to. I love to laugh way to much. I find the stupidest things funny. I've decided that it is really hard to ramble on about yourself. That being said I'll leave you all with my motto: If you have the guts to ask I will gladly answer. I basically have no life so feel free to message or chat anytime!
Peace out.

Welcome! It's good to have you here. Life is basically a learning experience, and being able and willing to meet new people and share new experiences makes the learning easier.

I origanlly was diagnosed as "clincallly depressed" but.. notting was further from than the truth. When you are a Bipolar . You don't complain... nor do you reconize the "highs" as bad. That is one reason why being diagnoised as Bipolar can be hard to do. YOU ROCK! and in no way you are alone. Message me anytime!:)

Hi welcome!! I'm new too, I love meeting new people but hate being crowded in small spaces. However, in order to meet new people you pretty much have to be shoved into them these days. Yes, I admit I'm crazy...I have people convinced I'm bipolar...and it was a rumour that I started. Now, I can't break free of it...and the people I never did tell, are convinced I have it. What does that say???

A lot of us beepers were treated for *just* depression before - sometimes with quite unpleasant results (my own being no exception). That being said, welcome! I hope you make lots of new friends and learn a lot here.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
