Bipolar Diagnosis:

"Bipolar [a.k.a. manic depression] is a complex illness. There are many different symptoms -- and several different types -- of bipolar disorder. The primary symptoms of the disorder are dramatic and unpredictable mood swings. The various types of bipolar disorder range from mild to severe... There are several types of bipolar disorder; all involve episodes of depression and mania to a degree. They include bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymic disorder, mixed bipolar, and rapid-cycling bipolar disorder... When a person's illness follows the classic pattern, diagnosing bipolar disorder is relatively easy. But bipolar disorder can be sneaky. Symptoms can defy the expected manic-depressive sequence."(WebMD)

A bipolar diagnosis can change your life in an instant. It can leave you feeling uncertain about the future and unsure about where to turn for assistance. If you are someone that has just recently been diagnosed as bipolar and you are having these feelings, do not worry. You are by no means alone in that regard. Just about everyone that gets a bipolar diagnosis goes through different stages where one or all of those emotions reign paramount in their mind. You can have these emotions with no problem.
