Author: Mr. Bipolar

I am 38 years old and recently learned that I may be bipolar. I am learning as much as I can as I discover myself with this newly acquired "label". I am not afraid of the diagnosis, rather I am afraid of not being able to learn and live with the diagnosis. I firmly believe that with the right medication and right medical care I can continue to live a successful life post diagnosis while keeping my eyes open for potential pitfalls that I am learning to be more acutely aware of.
