20-25% of people, depending on which statistics you believe, have a mental health problem of some sort so there will be plenty on fabs. How many are in the fora, I couldn't guess.
I'm bipolar. |

From reading replies to forum posts there are a few in the forums that have bi polar, but there are quite a few different types and levels of bi polar, no two bi polar people will be exactly the same |

Mental health issues are far more common than you'd believe, it's right what they say about it being good to talk about it I let it slip once that I was suffering with depression and taking tablets only for a few mates to tell me they were on much bigger doses and not to worry |

"From reading replies to forum posts there are a few in the forums that have bi polar, but there are quite a few different types and levels of bi polar, no two bi polar people will be exactly the same"
I completely agree. I have supported someone with a bi-polar disorder for the last 15 years, and in my work I have had a number of people with bi-polar referred to me, in just the same way as no 2 people having bi-polar will experience the same hi's and lows, neither can the adjustments needed be the same. Oddly though, many employers can't handle that, they want it cured without any disruption.

To the OP, bi polar is not the end of things, but the start of a journey. Make sure you speak up and get what help you need. On the forums are all sorts of people and to be fair when you are down or sad a lot have kind words. I am impressed that you are talking about it has a lot do not.   |

My gran has this, I'm assuming its a pretty severe case or there are other issues as many people seem to live normal lives all be it with low points but my gran used to have a bi-annual period of sheer detatchment from reality.
For about a year now she has been on another planet but still they refuse to section her as they previously did. |
