Just a quick note to introduce myself. My name is Stephanie and I have had Bipolar since I was a teen. The thing of it is, though, I was never diagnosed until a month or so ago.

I wish it had been found years ago. Man, that would have saved me so much pain and sorrow. But that was then. All I can do now is examine the mistakes this illness has caused me to make and the pain I have caused and learn how to control my impulses. I WILL get and take my needed medication as directed. I WILL attend therapy. I WILL do what ever it takes to become stable again.

All I want is to feel a bit of joy and a passion for life again, without going overboard.
