Nearly a year later...
Well I have been working for the better part of this year, 2009, to learn not only about what Bipolar Disorder is, but how to treat and regulate it. While I'm in a better state of mind than I was in 2008, a change in medicine seems to be working a bit but we're still not "there" yet.
The diagnosis was redefined as Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder; meaning I can go from a depressive state to mania within a day or even a few hours, and I can also be in both states at the same time. It's certainly not pleasant, but I can say, as with most Bipolar people, much prefer the manic state as I tend to get a lot done, can feel very productive and "up". The danger here is that continued or prolonged mania can lead to dangerous decisions and situations for the Bipolar person.
I'm going to reassert myself on this Blog in an effort to continue improving both my mental health, and my relationships with both my part and my friends.
