I was dx'd a few years back...2006, 2007....it's a blur to me now.

I think I'm doing better....meds have me more stable than I've been in a long time. But I'm not sure if I'm actually better or if I'm just so used to being this way?

Any thoughts?

HannaHana 10/17/2010

Being stable can cause confusion but we should enjoy it while we can and work to maintain it. I figure as long as I'm not in hospital I'm ok.

13 years ago for killing too many ppl in the army and not showing remorse. A depression kicked in but the death only seemed to be part of it it didn't take long before they picked BP and with current meds it must have been right as I am doing much better. still see doc once a month.

Looking back the symptoms have been there since age 15/16 but wasn't dx until age 27/28 in 2008 or 2009 can't remember.

2005 but I was treated for ADHD as a child and put in counceling at age 8. I think I was just diagnosed way too late. Once I was so hyper in HS that the teacher asked me if I was on drugs. He sent me to the office to be searched. I was so humiliated. My Dad went down to that school and stuck up for me.....he made a real stink .
