I understand exactly where you are. I was diagnosed as BP II in October at the age of 27, after having problems with ADs for the past year. I am now just switching to a mood stabilizer, and try to remain positive that the outcome will be beneficial to my condition. If you haven't yet, look into Kaye Jamison's books - she is BPI Psychiatrist who is a brave women, coming out with her illness in her field. Reading her books helped me to first understand what it is to be bipolar, as well as give me some form of "vocabulary" in order to speak with my pdoc. I am no where close to understanding my illness, but am trying everyday. I think knowledge is the best ammunition we can arm ourselves with...in order to live a functioning life. The biggest challenge for me, thus far, is realising how I have unconsciously created an environment for myself which helps me to cope with my cycling.
