Hi
I was dx with bi polar 1 in 1998. But now that I understand what bipolar is I believe I was like this even as a child. Came from a violent abusive home. But my mom love me so much. Dad sex molested me. Married at 17 to get out of house. Had a beautiful daughter who is 33 now an doing great. No illness! Left her dad in a state of mania. Which I did not understand. Went right into an abusive relationship both mentally and physically. Lost all self esteem and stayed in depressed state for 21 years. But then......I escaped ha ha! I was in super manic mode! Stopped taking all meds which is a totally stupid thing to do. Started drinking all day and all nite. No sleep for days. Sex with anyone. Spent tons of money on credit card and after two months I crashed. So sad. But the best thing of the whole mess was that I got away from the bully of 21 years. So this is my story.

Thanks Mod! Can't wait to make some friends UA :)
