| I have been diagnosed as bi polar II. One of the major recurring themes of my life has been hard to treat depression, anxiety, and periods of compulsive spending. These are the symptoms of bi polar II that I presented with.
Fortunately for the most part my disease is well controlled with medications. Although I have developed PTSD related to other issues that can be unmanagable at times.
Good to see you posting here. Feel free to join us in our BP town thread as there are many there who are fight with bi polar there also. It is a thread we use to visit, socialize, express our concerns, problems, joys, and such.
Take care and welcome to our mental health forum.
