    • About Me

      46 years young woman, recently divorced and starting over yet again. Diagnosed with BiPolar a year ago and learning to live with it. Husband couldn't, such a shame I thought we had what it takes to get through anything. Now I'm just looking to find my way in this crazy world we live in!

      Thank You for your comment on my post. I have an appointment to see my eye doc in three weeks, I will mention it to him. I already have poor vision and your right it's not something to mess with.

      Thanks Judy for your advice and support. It means so much. I know I will get there someday but I guess for me it is a slow process. :)

      From lorelei29 February 15

      Glad I could help some. The diovan my husband was on was 35$ for the months supply and the lisinopril is not even 10$ as it is an old tried and true med. I cannot promise it will work but going on it for a month or 2 and monitoring yourself would not hurt a bit. my hubby did and he is still on the lisinopril...drives me crazy how drs want to put you on the most expensive newer stuff but it does not mean it is any better than the old stuff. i know pharmacies and probably drs get kickbacks from the damn drug companies.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Diagnosed as Bi-Polar August 2007, though I'm sure I've had it for years, probably right back to high school. Diagnosed with depression over 2 years ago, now I think it should have been Bipolar right from the start - now that I know the symptoms...hindsight TRULY is 20/20.

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      Seems to be working quite well with NO side effects!!
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      DEFINITELY helping! I enjoy my visits with the therapist, she helps me to talk my way through issues that I would normally push down and try to ignore.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      Seems to be working, quiets my mind at night, helps me to sleep.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      My therapist noticed I was very anxious and stressed out,she suggested I ask dr for something, she prescribed Xanax to relieve the anxiety - it helps! I try not to take it too often though, it's just nice knowing I have it when I do need it. Very helpful when I know I'll be in a crowd of people - especially strangers.
    • Close Anxiety

      I constantly worry - you name it, I'll worry about it.

      Treatments

      Xanax Working / Worked
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      Know I shouldn't drink but did anyways. Was attacked while drunk and unable to stop it. I felt so stupid & humiliated at having put myself in a situation where that could happen that I couldn't tell anyone for months. I still feel disgusting for not having stopped it.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      Seeing a therapist and hoping she'll help me deal with this terrible incident. It's helping, she's made me understand that it was NOT my fault, I was the victim not the aggressor.
    • Open Life After Divorce

      Met a wonderful man online in 1996, fell in love with him before we ever even physically met or saw each other. Moved to PA to be with him. Had been married before and was totally afraid of doing it again. He finally convinced me in 2005, then in July 2007, he threw me out of our home and filed for divorce on 12/3/07, divorce was finalized 6/6/08, just 6 days before what should have been our 3rd wedding anniv.

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      I stopped awhile ago but I think it was helping so I need to get started on it again.
