Hello @Olga 

Love and best wishes back at you!

Re: Let's talk about bipolar

Hi

I’m new to this site as I was diagnosed with bipolar today and struggle with how I’m feeling about it. Relief in one way and distressed in another.

I also couldn’t work out how to start a post so googled bipolar and this came up so I thought I would reach out here? Hope that’s ok.

Re: Let's talk about bipolar

Hi @NewbieBipolar and welcome!

I'm glad you made your way here. I can relate to mixed emotions re diagnosis.

I went undiagnosed for 30 years and when I finally was it took me a year to accept it.

After that I did feel relief and it helped me understand my life and all the years of struggle and feeling different, and like something was wrong.

Give yourself time. It's a big thing to process.

The forum has helped me feel less alone. There are plenty of us here, and it's helpful to know that people get it.

Take care

Hi @Mazarita @Shaz51 @Meowmy @Olga and friends. Hope all's well

Re: Let's talk about bipolar

Thank you @frog 

im glad to hear it's not just me. I feel so completely wiped out today. Sounds like it might last a while. Luckily my psychologist has a cancellation tomorrow so might be good to talk it through with her if I can drag myself out of bed! 

looking forward to finding my way around the forum and feeling less alone.
