Navigating Bipolar Screening at 22

Hello everyone, I’ve recently been navigating the process of getting screened for bipolar disorder at the age of 22. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, from fear and uncertainty to hope and determination. I’ve had moments of feeling alone and misunderstood, but I’ve also found strength in connecting with others who understand what I’m going through. It’s a tough road, but I believe in the power of getting the right support and treatment. I’m learning to embrace my journey and take it one step at a time. I know there will be ups and downs, but I’m committed to prioritizing my mental health. I’d love to hear from others who have been through similar experiences and how you’ve navigated through this process. Thank you for being a supportive community.
