Bipolar

Today I have been diagnosed with bipolar.

im not really sure where to go from here. The doctor gave me some pills but I'm not sure what to do or who to talk to. 

Do I tell people or keep it to myself?

Never tell

as soon as you tell people. You will be judged on future actions

have a good day? You are obviously manic/hypomanic

bad day? Sad movie - you are depressed and maybe your meds aren’t working!!???

so hard to have any credibility 

and then if you get cross because someone things your manic? Well that’s evidence that your obviously manic…

my (ex) partner had no idea I had issues till I told him

perhaps if you have supportive family that’s ok

but certainly not work…
