My name is Caitlin. I've been told by my mother since I was 12 years old that I was bi-polar, but that I did not need any sort of psychiatric help, just exercise and I'd be fine. It's been 10 years since then and I've tried to kill myself once, have gone through many episodes of self destruction,left three colleges, had two miscarriages, had a fiance leave me and not been able to have a romantic relationship that lasts for more than 3 months, apart from one relationship.
I'm about to be 22 and I was just diagnosed ( by a psychiatrist, my doctor and my therapist) that I am indeed bi polar. I'm using this blog as a therapeutic output, hopefully I will keep it up, but who knows.
