I wonder how much of the bipolar is due to the PCOS....I hope I find out by losing weight and getting the PCOS under control.
What do you gals see as some of the issues of being bipolar? Like I'm dating again due to a divorce and I'm afraid to tell the guys I date that I'm bipolar. What has been your experience with this? | I've always been the same way with revealing my bipolar to a new boyfriend. It's easier to accept to some than others.
When I was really sick though, that really wasn't a big issue for me. I just wanted to feel sane again. My cycles were rapid... and at times my depression or mania was SO severe, that I would hallucinate and hear voices and bang my head against walls. Everyday was a struggle. I was hospitalized many times... I went through a lot of psychiatrists who tried medication after medication on me. Finally I found the psychiatrist I'm with now, and he did the trick and found the perfect meds for me. I'm finally off my anti-psychotic... but still on my anti-depressant and mood stabalizer. And life is a lot better now :]
