How long did you have bipolar symptoms before actually being diagnosed. For me, my doctor is saying that according to my description of my life up to this point, I was needlessly suffering for almost a decade before just recently in late december getting help for the disease.

I wish there was a way to reach out to other suffering addicts of bipolar disorder and to encourage people to tell their doctor the truth. If I had done that from the beginning I would be in so much better shape than I have been. Things still aren't perfect though as i've been unable to sleep more than 2.5hrs over the past 3 days.
