I was diagnosed with biploar almost a year ago and I’ve never had the chance to talk to anyone about it before, as the one person I knew who had anything similair took her own life in April. I was never diagnosed with depression before being diagnosed and put on medication for bipolar. I joined this site just to share experiences so I dont feel completely alone, because I dont often understand whats happening to me and people seem unwilling to talk about it. My manic stages are what worry me the most, I tend to go angry/violent complete with my delusions of grandeur rather than happy, almost seeming drunk. So if anyone would share their experiences with me, id really appreaciate it.
Thank you
