lightning.bluega19 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hello, and welcome to my first thread. I am 19 years old, diagnosed with bi-polar disorder at age 18. I was always told that i was "special". As with any mental "deficiency" they were not too sure what was going on with me. I have lengthy stories to share, most of which are fun, if not funny. I kind of want to put 60 smilies on here, but i will find my favorite one. Just a sec aha. QUESTIONS ANYONE!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCat Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 not really any questions... but its probably good to be diagnosed so young, you might have a good chance to get your meds right before you screw your life up. I wouldn't call BP a "deficiency" its just a "difference" - your brain is just wired differently to these "normal" folks. I wouldn't feel bad... normal is boring anyway welcome to the board (think maybe a mod could move this to the appropriate section perhaps?)

lightning.bluega19 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Good to be diagnosed so young, is right....however It's also a little scary, because now most of my friends know i am a psycho. I really enjoy being creative. and at the moment, i do not feel bad at ALL. thanks so much for the welcome, shadowcat. Q for the mods: where would the appropriate section be? *blush* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit37 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 As with your other intro, I don't have questions for you, but welcome. There's lots of information here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted71 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi lightning, welcome to the board. I have recently been diagnosed with bipolar but I have lived with it since my mid teens. I will 37 next month. i wish I was diagnosed back then. My life may have been easier. But thankfully I have a husband that has stuck with me for many years and I grateful for that. As far being 'phsyco', well, who wants to be normal anyway, LOL. As long as you don't go all 'Norman Bates' on anyone. But seriously, I doubt you are pshyco. and Shadowcat is right, it's not a deficiancy, just a difference in wiring. Anyway, welcome to the board.
