Finally.. i now understand more as to why i have suffered badly lately with Irritation, anger irritability and all that come with it.. My psychiatrist has diagnosed me with Bi Polar disorder and i am medicated now and have really never felt better, which makes me think i may have had this for quite some time.. but i am happy to feel very good and also i have just landed a new job so I'm very excited at the prospect of starting my job and being able to stay in it, as before I've always found it hard to hold down a job due to my mental health, i know I'm going to have my bad days but I'm feeling good at the moment and confident about where I'm heading in life, thanks for your ongoing support and encouragement, if anyone has any advice etc on how to deal with the high and lows of Bi Polar i would really like to hear them.. have a great day guys 🙂

Hi @Tigereye80

I was diagnosed with bipolar over 30 years ago. Have had loads of ups and downs too.

Stability (as they call it) or just plain peace has been it bit in the eye of the beholder sometimes. The journey has been a bit confused with the myriad of medications I have taken.

But…things are very positive at the moment. Having good supports in place (which may include this community) are gold. A good, patient, empathetic doctor is vital. Being mindful is invaluable.

Most importantly, be kind to yourself. Take care.
