The past two years have been a whirlwind for me. I've attempted PA school and left, attempted an engagement and left. I wonder sometimes if I can actually follow through with anything. I will be starting nursing school in January and am determined to finish the year program and actually start on a career path (as opposed to the crap jobs you can get with a bachelor's degree and no experience...what was the point of that degree again?). I am currently living at home with my mother. I think its the best spot for me after breaking up with my fiance. It gives me some time for a little TLC and I can (hopefully)focus on myself for a while and my needs. I guess my goal for right now is to stay put for a while. Stop moving around and just face the problems that lay in front of me this time instead of trying to run away. I have confidence that this time will be different. This time i want things to work out for me.

Give HopefulforHappiness a hug
Just wondering how you're doing and thought I'd say hello. I hope you're having a great summer! xxx
I'm so sorry to hear that! : ( Easter was a bad day for me too, but I think yours was worse. Are you feeling any better now? I really hope things work out at school! It was good to hear from you. I'm always here if you need someone to listen. Hugs!
I hope everything is going well for you! Have a Happy Easter!! : )
Thanks! : ) My pdoc appointment went pretty well. She wants me to gradually increase my dosage of Lamictal to 200 mg/day and also gave me another anti-anxiety med to try (BuSpar). I'm dealing with quite a few side effects from the Lamictal increase (currently at 125 mg/day). Hopefully, I will feel better soon! : ) I also will be having some lab work done to make certain the Lamictal isn't causing any serious problems. So, how are you? I read your status line and it made me wonder if you're doing OK. I hope so!! Drop me a line when you get a chance. Hugs! : )
Yay!! Congrats on the good grades! They make the long hours of studying worthwhile. As for good news on this end...I'm going to visit my family next week. We live over 1100 miles apart, so I only get to see them every few months. I'm really excited! I'll let you know how the pdoc appointment goes later this month, and keep me posted on how you're doing too. Hope you're having a great day! : )

I had issues throughout highschool but I was diagnosed with BP my senior year of undergrad (college). I missed half of the school year due to that episode :-P. Attempted suicide once. I'm pretty stable on my meds but am still trying to sort out my life and see where everything fits. I don't know how much of my confusion and uncertainty is due to my disease and how much is due to my age/personality etc. I haven't really pursued therapy after being diagnosed but am interested in exploring it.
I have autoimmune thyroid disease/thyroiditis I go from being Hyper to Hypo thyroid and anything in between. I have a multi-nodule goiter and have yet to be stable on the synthroid my doctor hopes will eventually work. To add to the problem, I am also bipolar so I never know if the symptoms I'm having are from my mood disorder or the thyroid disease (almost identical symptoms)
Please read the story under hyperthyroidism on my profile. Also, I never know if my low moods are from bipolar or from my thyroid disorder.....also my weight is slowly creaping up on me.
