Hey, Julie. I was just listening to your radio show. I am a little behind. I thought, it was funny, they did not give you any information when you were first diagnosed. In 1999, I (at 23 years old)was very manic and I was told I was Bipolar. They gave me some pills and the doctor told me and my family to look it up on the Internet. Which just fueled my manic state because I was like you- I needed more help.
I do not have the support of my whole family. I have three brother and three sister. So some of them act like I am the only one with a problem. But I have the support of my best friend and her mother who understand me, and they understand what being Bipolar is like for me. I love your show and I love the information you send me. Oh a little advice, if I am manic, I try to do thing that are good (like writing a letter, or do some cleaning, one time I know I was having a major episode, so I did three weeks worth of work for my college classes so when I came down I had the work done so I could focus on me.) and I know it will not last so I try to have as much fun as I can. I did have spending problems to the point that I had to file bankruptsy. So when I am manic, I try not to go shopping. I try to be with people who know I am Bipolar so they can tell me if I go overboard.
Congrats on the show.
