I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type II disorder in early 2007 but the journey to this diagnosis has been long and I hope to share with you not only my experiences that I have had with depression and weird moods and the difficulties which my family have faced, and are still facing, but also the value of the input from people who have literally helped me to turn my life around. I have found that a ‘comfortable’ life can be achieved and that the key is the old adage ‘take one day at a time’!
