| A little about me: | Bipolar II, misdiagnosed with depression when I was in my 20s. I was treated with antidepressants only (hypomania wasn't recognized back in those days) and only got worse. Finally correctly diagnosed 5 years ago, have been on various medications ever since. With the meds I'm on now and intensive talk therapy, I can now pretend to be relatively normal when I have to be around other people...at least for a while. LOL |

| Sometimes we go through life and it seems like there is challenge after challenge. Why do we experience these? I don't know. One of the things that I have found is that there have always been friends for support. For that I am eternally grateful! |

My Diary
A Personal Record of My Craziness
As the title implies, this is going to be a personal record of the ups and downs I experience as a result of having bipolar type 2 disorder. I don't know if anyone else will see this. I don't care. I need to get these thoughts out of me somehow and if it helps someone else that'll be a good thing.
