LMRamjass: I have lived with bipolar disorder since I was 32 yrs old. In June 1989 I experienced my first manic episode and hospitalization. Properly diagnosed with Bipolar 1 with psychosis in 1995, after my third hospitalization. After my fourth and last in 1997, it took another three years to find proper professional treatment, a psychiatrist I trusted, as well as a medication that finally stabilized me. It took 11 years and not for lack of effort. I received a degree in English Literature in my fifties. It took 11 yrs. to obtain my degree. I have done numerous public speaking regarding my disorder and worked part time as well as volunteer work. In April 2012 In order to continue my mental health advocacy, I founded Living with Bipolar Disorder public and private groups on Facebook. I am an amateur artist and writer. A wife, mother, and grandmother who is currently thriving at sixty-five years old. I have a strong support system, a loving, loyal, and supportive husband, together 46 yrs. We have two sons, two daughter in laws and four grandchildren. We are a close-knit family.
