Hi I am not sure what to write , but here it goes.

I suffer from Bipolar and generalized anxiety disorder. I joined this page to see how others cope with rapid cycling? but also to see how others cope with getting agitated with bipolar? I also have other health problems such as CFS and an autoimmune disease to name a few (but there's a long list), I'm interested to see if there are others out there with chronic illnesses and bipolar and how they cope and manage? Although I was diagnosed last October I am still finding that I am in denial and am struggling to accept that I am Bipolar. Does anyone have any tips on how to work through this issue?

Hi Maddwadd,

I’m so sorry that it has taken a while before you received a reply. Sometimes we accidentally miss posts, so please don’t think it has anything to do with you. It’s really just accidental. Again, I apologise.

I know bipolar can be very debilitating, and it’s brave of you to reach out here. I have heard that rapid cycling can be very draining.

While I don’t have bipolar personally, I know there are many other lovely forum members here who will be able to relate based on their personal experiences, and share their own experiences and advice.

I still just wanted to greet you & extend a caring welcome though. Hopefully someone else who understands bipolar from a firsthand experience replies soon...

In the mean time, I’m thinking of you, and if there’s anything else you would like to talk about, please feel free to reach out. That said, no pressure of course.

Kindness and care,

Pepper
