I was diagnosed with ...Thank you so much for this. I was diagnosed with bipolar II 2 years ago, and was scared of what that diagnosis was. My doctor told me there were different layers to bipolar and that mine was a case of major depressive disorder with one manic episode in my life. I also have PTSD which triggered my BP II because of the traumatic deaths of my parents. I've been on the right medication now for 2 years, but it took 4 years to get the proper diagnosis and medication. Now I'm level headed and at ease, I have a wonderful career and I'm happy. Everything in my life is completely normal and calm; you wouldn't believe I even have the disorder. Medication and therapy works! Never be afraid of a diagnosis or getting treated for it. It's totally worth educating yourself and getting treatment. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408882884937342160noreply@blogger.com
