I just wanted to say good evening/morning/day to everyone who reads this. I also have just recently realized that I have Hypo mania. I know this is more of a subset of Bipolar as it is not as extreme. I never considered myself Bipolar and I am probably not textbook bipolar though like I said, I am positive I am at least Hypo manic.
I mainly joined this group to talk to other people who may have more extreme cases or even just have mild cases such as myself. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid and just recently found out that a MD cannot diagnose someone with ADHD, only give out medicine. Diagnosis is for a Psychiatrist. Well that is exactly what my MD did - said I had ADHD and dished out all of those appetite crushing, neurotic pills.
I am free to talk about my mindstate growing up as well as now. I also would like to say according to my birth chart, I have an optomistic astrological sign, and chinese birth year. So I believe alot of my natural exubarance is just that, natural. At the same time I can admit there is an illness categorization to go with my train of thought. I am not here to treat myself just share some thoughts and receive some.
Let me reiterate I am a naturally happy person, very much so, and yes I can be excessive, dangerously spontaneous, highly idealistic, far reaching, and individualistic to a fault.
Like I said my birth charts point to the rule of thumb of being very happy children, people, coupled with alot of those other elements I mentioned, so I need to start breaking down how much is healthy appropriate excitement, and how much is illness. Starting to get it yet??
Well that is all, I look forward to talking to whomever.

No quotes right now.
"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)
