Newbie!!

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum. I have been searching for a good bipolar forum for a long time now, and I think I found one! I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 when I was 18 years old. I am now 21 years old, and living with this illness is becoming more and more difficult. I hope I can come here for support during some of the more difficult times, and I will always offer my support to everyone.

It's nice to meet you!

Hi L nice to meet you too. I'm new as of like a few minutes ago. I am going nuts not cool. I have been diagnosed with bipolar paranoid schizophrenia. I am not that crazy I don't think, I hope not I guess. Anyway, so nice in meeting with you.

Hi! Im pretty new, too. To it all, although i have known a few bipolar people, so i knew about it anyhow. I grew up knowing relatives of mine had it (bpI) Bad experience with my father in law over it, but for some reason have seemed to draw people with this into my life. It's odd, actually, how all these people i have befriended have it. But i was only diagnosed as bpII a couple weeks ago. Already fighting with the idea that its not as bad as i thought it was, nevermind my marraige almost ended as a result of my actions which were at least in part due to it. Unless i am hypo or depressed, i seem to forget how bad it was.

Anyhow, nice to "meet" you.
