Anyone else with a double diagnoses?
I am type 2 bipolar, have most likely been since my late teens. Was properly diagnosed a few years ago. In my experience it would seem its a vicious cycle between my alcoholism and my BP2... if left untreated they tend to feed on each other.
The last time I relapsed, its because I left the BP2 get ahead of me, I fell into a dark place and wanted a quick out. Its a long story that I could have prevented but didn't have the proper tools then. I know better now.
Anyone else have a DD? How do you cope? Please share your experiences.
