Hi, new here

I've been reading posts all day, and your responses seem so caring and kind. That is not always found on Internet message boards.

I was diagnosed with BP 2 six years ago after having been previously dx with MDD.

I'm on Abilify, Effexor and Restoril for the BP disorder and other meds for various other conditions. I'm also giving fish oil a shot...we will see how that works.

My symptoms are generally in remission due to my meds, except for a 6 week period right before Christmas where I went hypomanic and ended up spending over $4,000 on stuff for myself and others!

I need to learn to recognize the symptoms coming on.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hey binti, mindfulness of the sensations in our body really helps us to recognize symptoms at a much earlier stage. Obviously taking effective action at the much subtler level helps us to avoid many crises. I think you are on the right track. .. welcome
