It begins!

Thursday, September 04, 2008 at 03:09 PMWell, Tina, now the work begins! I was diagnosed with Bipoar in 2002 and went off medication in 2007. One of the most important things you can do for your well-being is to find a psychiatrist and psychologist that you are comfortable with and will listen to you. I went through my share of psychiatrists before I found one who told me that Bipolar wasn't a life long sentence I'd been given.
Make sure you have great friends and family around you who will understand and be sympathetic to any changes in your behaviors and actions. It's crucial that those close to understand what your condition.
Lastly, I would encourage you to read about Eastern thinking in the scope of Buddhism/Daoism etc. I'm not saying convert, but a lot of the teachings of "living in the moment" and being in better control of your mind and your thoughts are HUGE benefits to a jumbled mind. I think you know what I mean.
Best of luck!

I was misdiagnosed for over 20 years and now finally have been diagnosed Bipolar. I have had some anxiety over the whole situation but I find learning as much as I can has helped.
