Subject: Hi..............new to this board

Hi,

My name is David and I have been recently diagnosed bi-polar. I'm finally starting to come out of a 5 year funk with the help of a new medication that I'm on. I was in a place (mentally) that I couldn't even see my baseline let alone reach it. I can't even remember the last time that I felt "normal".
But the fog is slowly lifting, and I'm starting to find myself again, which is wonderful. Rediscovering my hopes and dreams is something that I gave up on a long time ago, but its good to know that they didn't give up on me, because they were still there waiting in the corner like a dusty book that you've been meaning to finish for a long time.
I'm sure everyone that reads this can relate to the utter emptiness and aloneness that people with depression experience. WE ARE NOT ALONE. The next time that I cycle back into "depression mode" with my illness, I will try and remember that somewhere someone else is going through the same thing that I am, with the same unanswered questions to why I'm like the way I am. It is an illness that I will have to deal with for the rest of my life, a constant battle for that inner peace. So now that I've crossed my own battle line, I will try to fight the waves that want to push me back to the way I was before, because I have no intentions of going back there.

I wish everyone the happiest and healthiest of the New Year
David
