bipolar in a nutshell
I was misdiagnosed first with a flu in 2007. Then a few days later I spiraled out of control with a maniac episode. Up until that point I was hanging out late drinking lots of coffee and energy drinks.
When I had my episode I felt like everything I was doing was wrong. I threw away movies and books. I spent four days in a psychward and two in a behavioral health building.
It has been very traumatic and overwhelming since.

Welcome to DS justward! I know how overwhelming a diagnosis can be. Hope this site helps. I was diagnosed in my teens but first has depressions at age 12. Then I didn\'t get treatment until age 22. I am 34 now and think I have a good handle on it sometimes. Best to live WITH Bipolar than to live AROUND Bipolar. It\'s a huge change I know. IM me if you want. Hugz!
