Bipolar Two with Anxiety [View all]

Hello everyone. I’ve hung around this forum for at least a year posting now and then. I’ve decided to dive in and introduce myself. I’m a seventy year old woman with bipolar two and anxiety. My bipolar is controlled fairly well with a combination of drugs. Even though I take a medication for my anxiety too, it’s still a problem. For the last few months I’ve been meditating regularly. I think it’s helped with my anxiety because I’ve noticed a decrease in my fear of driving, which has always been a huge problem for me.

I’ve only been taking medication for my bipolar problem for the last few years. I wish I’d been diagnosed earlier! My life would have been different if my moods had been more stable. For example, I would have been able to hold down a better paying job and my husband and I would be better off now financially. I try not to dwell on this too much.

That’s me in a nutshell. Hope to talk to you soon.
