Hi.
My name is Tom and I'm suffering from bipolar disorder.. well.. at least it's about to be diagnosed properly now..
It's hard for me to explain what it does to me.. all I can say for now is that I'm in an emotional roller coaster atm.. up, down, up down..
and this quite rapidly.. so more a rapid cycling than I thought it would be typical for this sort of illness.
It means my periods of moods (if I can say so) mostly last for 3-4 weeks and change quite quick to the other extreme.
On medication from today on with Quetiapine 25mg.. have read the leaflet which says it should be started with 100-200mg a day.. I am prescribed 2 tablets of 25mg a day.. so lets see how it will go..
Just besides all this, please bear with my grammar and spelling, not born and bred in UK but live and work here for about 2 years.
I will tell a bit more about me in another thread soon.. well so far I can find some words for my current emotional condition..
and I am still working 6/7 days a week so I'm trying to stay occupied.
My head is a bit in a mess right now.. so need to sort myself a bit better.
TC x
