    • About Me

      I pretty much only come on here when I'm upset, maybe I should rethink that. too much change lately to type it all in here. Outside my head life is good. it's just me that's the problem. Ok so I was diagnosed with BP in April of 2006, it depends on who I saw and when whether they call it 1 or 2 but I have been labeled both along with god knows what else they decided to stick on there. I have my ups and downs, but am generally doing ok. I moved from the LA area to central Mississippi and am still experiencing the culture shock after 5 months. I am currently unmedicated for a variety of reasons, mainly funds. I thought I had the "why me" part of this under control but going on disabilty seems to have started that part up again. I have a wonderful fiance, who makes me feel like there's nothing wrong 90% of the time, which is a big step up from hating one's existance 90% of the time. I also have three cats who are spoiled rotten. I guess that's about all to go into right now.

    • Little Love

      From Belinda1977 October 9

      Good Morning HUGS for you my friend. I hope you had a great week, and am wishing you a wonderful weekend!

      Quote for today:

      I know in my heart that man is good.
      That what is right will always eventually triumph.
      And there's purpose and worth to each and every life.
      Ronald Reagan

      We are all here for a reason, a purpose. Look deep inside and know that you have purpose and worth in this life and know that others see it as well. You are valuable and loved. Be kind to yourself and you will triumph in all you do.

      (((HUGS)))

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Diagnosed a year ago April with BP 1. Started on lithium as I was manic at the time. Ended up in a major depressive episode in January that started in around October. Went to hospital, stayed a week had wellbutrin, abilify and lamictal added to my pills. Started to feel better. Back into the hospital and out again feeling stronger and more together this time. Hopefully things will go better.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      Started w/ three other meds don't know what part it played. Knocked me out cold first couple weeks till they had me start taking it at night, eventually that all went away though.
      Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Only in hospital can't find a group around here... or I haven't rally tried.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Miracle drug for me, saved me from severe depression. Sleepyness and forgetfulness are the side affects I noticed.
      Lithium Working / Worked
      Cured the mania once I got on a theraputic dosage.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Started w/ three other meds don't know what part it played.
