Hey there! Wanted to share some thoughts here since I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder by a professional yesterday, i am a bit scared but relieved to know whats going on with me. Been dealing with these problems since I was 16 and never understood why i coudnt be normal or maybe i was making things up, that i could beat my depression alone with time. Never knew what mania was or that these mood swings werent common, you know? 
Dont know what to expect with this new medication and this sub made me feel less alone! 

Really want to get better and stop fucking things up. Thank you for reading :)

(Im not from the US or english speaking countries so if this text is a little strange forgive me haha)
