My life in the bipolar world started out pretty dark and dreary. I struggled for years with major depressive episodes before getting my correct diagnosis. From that time forward, life made a bit more sense. Going through the rigors of dealing with Bipolar II disorder personally, and having watched the illness spread through multi-generations of my family, I have learned that the most important word in my vocabulary is hope - for without hope, we have nothing.

It is at the About Bipolar Disorder Forums that we join together as a community and share our knowledge and strengths, renewing hope within ourselves and each other. I appreciate the opportunity to volunteer, and I look forward to working with everyone here!
