Bipolar is so frequently misdiagnosed. I was told over and over again I had treatment resistant depression, I was told to check myself into a mental hospital, I was told I had a seizure disorder...until one 70 or 80 year old female psychiatrist (I mention her gender because my grandmother was a psychiatrist, ironically) had the experience and foresight to put me on lithium. When many of my problems just vanished into thin air, the jury had reached its verdict: I have some sort of bipolar disorder.

> What about it? The twenty years have been more negative than positive with a smattering of some normalcy but my overall opinion has been more bad than good years. UNfortunately, if we went after the bipolar issues sooner I perhaps may have had more normalcy, right? Looking back I have had real severe suicidality that could have been treated iwth Lithium before now! I am angry with so much of what I have gone through.
