>Hi!! I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago as having bipolar disorder. I was a little relieved, and a little scared. I was relieved because I knew something was wrong with me, but scared because it meant something was really wrong with me!!! I am now being told by another pdoc that I have ADD, not bipolar.
Cheer up, there are meds out there to control mood swings. You are still the same you! Be happy that you have a diagnosis, now it can be treated. I always just wanted to be normal, and not have a label. But what is normal anyway? There isn't a normal, I'm finally realizing this. Good luck, keep us posted!!
