Hi,

I am 'presumed Bipolar'...They said they can't properly diagnose me until I'm an 'established adult' (I'm 18 at the moment)

Thank you for telling me this...it is good to know that I'm not alone...although it's sometimes very hard not to think this.

I'm so glad you recovered you must be a very strong person!

Thank you!

High as in one of my highs of bipolar...I haven't used since I was 14.

My therapist knows about my paranoia and I'm having Cognitive Behavior therapy at the moment. He doesn't know about my delusions because they are happening quite recently and I'm just trying to get used to them...they sometimes really scare me and even give me palpitations.

Thank you for your kind words...I am just about coping at the moment!
