    I know we have quite a diverse group of people here. I am curious if we have anyone else who is bipolar. I've been having a hard time of it lately, and would like to talk to someone who understands what I am going through.

    yes, I have bipolar disorder type I, and I must say it makes my life difficult. if I could get rid of it completely, I would do it gladly.
    I'm not sure if I can give any sensible advice, but I can listen, you're not alone. *hugs*

    Well, my therapist suspects it - and general attention issues possibly adhd-.. and I pretty much hate myself for it some days.

    I can say the same, my mood swings are a killer. I'm tired of them.

    I haven't been able to see a therapist yet, but I think I may have it. I have big nasty mood swings a couple times a year that usually last a few months for depressive symptoms and two to four weeks for manic ones. I know that I can't be sure with an official diagnosis but that seems like what it is to me.
