I just got diagnosed with Bipolar today and although I suspected having Bipolar for several years, the fact that a doctor actually said it scares the heck out of me. I am afraid that my friends will think I'm crazy, that my kids will be scared of me, that my husband will be "watching" for signs of craziness now. I have been given an Rx for Risperdol and am afraid that I will not be the same person anymore. I understand the fear that the person posting the question has. I am 40, happily married and have 5 great kids. I just know that I cannot handle life without meds anymore. I am praying that they help. Tonia
