I was fifteen when I was told I had bipolar and THANK GOD I found out soon. I also have a child, and it gets hard, and I am not on my medication... but I am getting back on them. :) So I wanted to tell people my story, my point of view ( how its like having it ) The mood swings are NOT fun :( and can ruin a lot, almost all relationships with friends, family, and others, it sucks, but its life. I need to go back onto my medication to level me out, and make my life not so roller coaster like. :)
