While some of you have no doubt seen this for a while now, sadly I did not. I honestly didn't really even know what bipolar was... but I do now. And it explains a helluva lot about the way I act and feel and think and the stupid shit I sometimes do.
Anyway... I took some basic tests today, and it's fully there in all it's ugly glory. "Circular Insanity". I don't know what's next, but I imagine it will involve Lithium.
Being made aware of this today, I can only look back on some of the stupid shit I've done, and come to understand why everyone must think I'm insane. Because it turns out that I am.
I'm fully on the depression downside of it right now. But at least now I know. Hopefully I can finally get some meds or something to end the madness that is in my head.
I haven't had a chance to read all of the other thread yet, I just got back.... but I will, and I'll contact some of you guys tomorrow. I appreciate all the offers to help from you guys.... I really do.

I've had the same thing all my life.. been on all the medications there are, so if you wanna know anything about em other then what the doctors say feel free to ask.
As for lithium it's ok, you'll feel a little slow at the beginning, not too bad side-effects but it will take at least 3 months before it has full effect and they expect about a year before they can tell if it's taking you in the right direction.
As you said tho, at least ya know what's wrong ... good luck to ya!
