Feb. 28th Check-in

Hello everyone! My name is Dylan and this is my first check-in. I was diagnosed with Bipolar a few years back but recently started seeing a prescriber and will soon see a therapist. Been on a new mood stabilizer for a month and hope it continues to get better. I get very overwhelmed and afraid very easily which makes me come across as angry. My fits can be pretty extreme and irrational. It has gotten worse since I stopped abusing narcotics. My boyfriend supports me even though I can fly off the handle. Today hasn't been too bad of a day. Mood has been pretty stable today. Been a rainy day with lots of flooding, but I like rainy and cloudy days a lot. Makes life seem less chaotic and more calm. I look forward to talking with everyone and gaining some insights into the world of Bipolar Disorder.
