Hey Klr,

I haven't had a similar experience with bipolar, but I wanted to say hello and let you know that you're not alone on the Beyond Blue forums.

I'm really glad you're seeing your doc and would love to know how you get on, would you drop by again and let us know?

Kir, i have been treated for depression for over 15 years.5 years ago i hsd a meltdown and ended up in front of a psychatrist.

Discovered that i had been misdisgnosed and now with the correct medication and minor lifestyle changes things could not be better. Its quite managable and seek specialist referral and treatment.good luck with it all.
