I am always looking for positive stories.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Hi Julie,<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I just came across your site today. I can relate to your situation. I&#8217;m 44 today. Back when I was 17 in 1983, just as I was entering senior high school, I started acting strange. I didn&#8217;t want to sleep and I didn&#8217;t want to eat. Eventually I was admitted to our local hospital in the mental ward. I was there 2 weeks. I came home but was still not right. I was saying and doing things out of my character. I was becoming delusional. At the end of the year I was admitted to University Hospital in Seattle for about 2 months. It wasn&#8217;t until 1986 that I finally was diagnosed with Bi-polar. Back then it was called Manic Depression. I went to a Naturepathic doctor and he put me on a bunch of vitamins and Lithium. I take 300mg twice a day. I have not had an episode since. I will be interested in buying your Health Cards because I&#8217;m sure they will help me. I know that I still have Bi-Polar disorder, I just have it under control.<\/p>\n<p>Bonnie<\/p>\n<p>**<\/p>\n<p>Thanks Bonnie. I sometimes wonder if I will ever get better- to me that means long periods of time without mood swings. That is always my goal. Thanks for reminding us that it&#8217;s possible!\u00a0 The name changes in bipolar are interesting: Mania Depression. Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar Affective Disorder, Bipolar Illness &#8211; and I just heard bipolarlity!<\/p>\n<p>Julie<\/p>\n<p>PS: If you like this post and find it helpful, please click on the like button below.
