I thought you already knew you had this disorder. You've been open about your mental health issues in the past, so I assumed you had been diagnosed already. Anyway, a combination of therapy & meds along with lifestyle changes like diet/exercise/positive thinking/relaxation techniques are often very effective. In my experience, there's no 1 thing that will magically cure bipolar, it's something you need to work on for the rest of your life. And Gerald's right - it's not the best news, but it's not the end of the world. It sure does explain your overspending & obsessive need to see all those shows that you've talked about in the past. It's definitely treatable & manageable - now that you have an actual name for it, you can learn how to deal with it. Good luck to you.
Well, I had never been diagnosed before, but I had always wondered because of the depression and the mood swings. BTW thank you for that link!
