Being Bipolar: Meet BipolarFella
BipolarFella of http://bipolarfella.blogspot.com was diagnosed with Bipolar II at the age of 35. He has dealt with this disorder for 24 years.
How did I feel about diagnosis: relieved
How would I explain: basically as mood swings but I will go as deep as anyone wants.
Treated differently: yes . friends have nearly always backed off when they know.
Memorable worst moment: Flew to England from LA at start of my worst manic episode.
Memorable Best moment: Reaction to full disclosure at work after my main manic episode.
Personal Experience: It didn’t really affect me too much for 14 years. It eventually wore me down along with relationship issues.
I have lost most of my long term friends and my family are not aware of my struggle.
