Finally Answers..
Finally.. i now understand more as to why i have suffered badly lately with Irritation, anger irritability and all that come with it.. My psychiatrist has diagnosed me with Bi Polar disorder and i am medicated now and have really never felt better, which makes me think i may have had this for quite some time.. but i am happy to feel very good and also i have just landed a new job so I'm very excited at the prospect of starting my job and being able to stay in it, as before I've always found it hard to hold down a job due to my mental health, i know I'm going to have my bad days but I'm feeling good at the moment and confident about where I'm heading in life, thanks for your ongoing support and encouragement, if anyone has any advice etc on how to deal with the high and lows of Bi Polar i would really like to hear them.. have a great day guys 🙂

Re: Finally Answers..
@Tigereye80 thank you for taking the time to share your good news story here with us. Sometimes it can be hard to see through the fog and to imagine a brighter day, so it's lovely of you to share the good times with us.
@M_7, what @Tigereye80 has expressed here might be of some comfort. We may differ in our diagnoses, but we have a shared human experience with our mental health.
Stories like this one shine a little bit of hope when the batteries in your own torch are low, so to speak 🌞

Re: Finally Answers..
Wow @Tigereye80 !
Sounds like a relief to have some answers! I'm so happy for you. Seems like it's about finding a balance now. Sometimes, meds need to be juggled according to changes, but I'm sure you'll manage.
So great to hear of your triumphs! Thank you for sharing.

Re: Finally Answers..
Congratulations on your new job @Tigereye80 I hope it meets all your expectations. A new job and medication that suits - well done.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder 20 years ago and despite some ups and downs managed to work through until retirement. On the forums you'll get to meet many younger people too who are successfully working with MI.
Here's a tip: if you'd like a message to reach a particular person, prefix their username with @
Eg @Shaz51
Cheers
