    I'm 60 next year and I've had a lifetime of bi-polar s***. If you possibly can, find out if there is a Self-Help group anywhere near you - you can check with the Bi-Polar Organisation. I used to belong to them and I found meeting with a whole lot of people who were having experineces like yours incredibly helpful. I stopped going after about 3 yearsw - I would really recommend you try to find one. Bless Gillian
