ladyturkey217 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 so yeah, I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 2 and I have NO idea what that really means for me and my future! I was originally misdiagnosed with unipolar depression and put on prozac, which of course put me into a hypomanic state that lasted months. Having never heard of such a thing, and not knowing that what was happening was abnormal (all I knew was that i felt great!), I managed to get myself into about 20k worth of debt, cheat on my husband who ended up leaving me (i hardly blame him!) and getting a giant tattoo. So yeah, my opinion right now is that bipolar sucks, and I have no idea how i'm going to deal with this for the rest of my life. Hoping this place might help me fell less alone, and maybe give me a little hope. I'm turning 29 this month, and i'll tell ya- this wasn't the life i had planned!

bpladybug Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 What this means for you, I hope, is that now you can get good treatment that helps! Accurate treatment. And this certainly made the quality of my life better. You are still young and have a lot of life ahead. It is great that you finally have a diagnosis and can get help. Medication and therapy - that is the key for me. Unfortunately leave a train wreck behind when manic is very common. Life can be rebuilt, and hopefully with your depressions under control. Be of good faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 welcome. I'm sorry about the misdx and all the aftereffects... they suck ass, don't they? My first episode pretty much ended my first marriage. Fortunately, it wasn't a very good marriage in any case, and I am now stable (usually) and happily remarried to a GREAT guy. Welcome to cb, I hope you find some information and support here. do check out the blogs and chat, and PM a mod if you have questions.

AnneMarie Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I don't think this is a club many thought they'd play in. But, here we are. It's a nice place with useful info. It's nice to know you are not alone, too. Check out blogs and chat when you get a chance. And, as Olga said, feel free to PM a mod if you have questions. Welcome to CB.
