Hello,I'm told I am bipolar but I don't think I've ever really experienced the high end of it. I get depressed but not overly excited about anything. There was a time when I was really happy about my job and thought I was too happy, but then I started making mistakes at work and went on an action plan. That was very stressful for me and now I am on disabilty. I'd love to chat with others who are bipolar.

Welcome to the board....I was an Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) and just recently had that ammended to eobp II, which means I don't get the "manic" highs. I don't get the "I'm invincible" type highs. My highs are more like ADD/ADHD type highs, racing thoughts, can't stop talking, feel like I need to DO something, oh, also really irritable and short fuse temper and SPECTACULAR rages. I too was "mostly" depressive so treated that off and on until I self-dx'd myself from reading up about my DS who was dx'd eobp about 5 or 6 yrs ago. That is about the size of it.

Have a friends wife that was experiencing alot of the same type things and SWORE she wasn't bp because she NEVER had highs....well now she is on Depakote and Geodon and is FINALLY becoming herself again.

Welcome again and glad to have you,
tk

P.S. It always helps to know you are not alone.
