Just two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar II at age 63 though this has been a misdiagnosed problem for over 40 years. Previously I have been treated for depression and anxiety. The daunting task was to find all the right therapy and support that wasn't going to break the bank. Amazingly I have been able to find the medication support as we are on the road to get the right mix there and hopefully this week I will meet with a talk therapist to work through the things in my head. It is a relief to know that it is not a defect of character but rather a real medical condition that can be treated. I know it will not be easy but taking the first step is the hardest part.
