"35 years old, just been diagnosed &quot;bipolar 1&quot; 3 days ago, taking 1-3 tabs lithium a day for starters combined with 150 mg wellbutrin.  amount is at my discretion? not a good idea for a substance abuser, so my poor lovely wife doles out all meds for me.  my father, brother, sister all have bipolar 1, i&#039;ve been denying it for quite a while but recently the highs have been too great, and the lows equally opposite, scheming a way to off myself so my wife gets life insurance.  this is all about 10 years over due if it works, i&#039;m pessimistic.  day 4 though, have to say i felt pretty good considering last night i was about to call oakland pd to come to my day job and save me from jumping, not joking.  i hope this works, any feedback?"
