Thanks! If you have some of the symptoms of bipolar disorder (especially psychosis), please visit your doctor and explain what is going on. Last year, I was so used to my psychosis that I thought it would be a part of my daily life forever. My medication was changed and it has since went away and I am pretty stable right now. It makes a huge difference.
On another note, mine started right after I had my third child. They assumed it was postpartum depression and treated me for that. I had recurring episodes and each one got worse and worse until I found a new doctor who recognized it as bipolar disorder right away. That has made all the difference.
