45 diagnosed Bipolar 11 about 8 years ago.  Presently take 25mg Seroquel which seems to work. I was being treated with Lamictal 200mg daily along with Effexor off and on for several years until I had an affair with my son's 19 year old friend and almost lost everything.  I don't know if I'm mixed or rapid. I never really investigated that much into it. I was recently diagnosed with colitis and found this forum so hear I am.

   Hi and welcome. Screwing up and BPII tend to go together like eggs and bacon.  SO you just have to pick yourself up and try your best each day to not screw up. Try and id what can cause you issues, and do your best to avoid them.

  Heck when i was out of control i was having an affair with one woman, one couple Man/woman, and one couple woman/woman. All at the same time.        

  Yes it caused alot of pain but it helped to get me to admit that i was the problem  

Good luck, and welcome
