anyhow.....Hello I am new to the boards here and I have bipolar disorder and just found this topic here.
Wanted to say hello and get in on the convo here. EVer hear of bipolar 2 ..well thats me..On something sI cannot relate to many biploar sufferers. I do not have major swings and I rapid cycle so I am everywhere. If you never heard of it . it is just a milder form of bipolar. I do not get real manic or deeply depressed. I can be depreesed one minute and then few monutes later I can be ok then not...Its crazy and exhausting.
I do not want to take meds howevere I do at this time. I was on a few meds 3 yrs ago but stopped to have a baby and I never really took them all back up or am at my usual dosages.
well enough blah blah......looking forward to chatting here.
There are several people on this board that have the diagnosis of bipolar 2; so you came to the right place. I have the diagnosis of bipolar 2 but I also struggle with deep bouts of depression. The bipolar spectrum is so vast. I have read that bipolar 2 is more difficult to treat than bipolar I and rapid cycling is also more difficult. You are very fortunate to be able to maintain stability without medication.
