I was diagnosed last year for bipolar in November. Suddenly, everything made sense as I reflected on my past. But I didn't quite grasp the concept of the illness. Since then, I have been doing as much research as I can to really understand it. I also suffer from depression that goes back to the mid-80s. Last year, when I first started getting treatment for depression, as time went on, I knew that something else was wrong with me. I was really depressed, yet had all these other signs.

I just moved out of this place where I lived for over 8 years. A guy who's living there is bi-polar and a bully. I had enough. He was dangerous. Doesn't mean I don't want to be friends with someone who's bi-polar. I even go to a bi-polar support group from times to cope with my depression.
