About Me
My motto: It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. I have a degree in English - looking to write a novel or two in my lifetime. Want to pursue Masters Degree in Forestry when I can afford it. I am divorced. I am not religious and do not want to be - consider myself agnostic. I love rock music - my favorite band ever is Evanescence. Why am I here? BP and BPD with a touch of SAD.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
DXed at age 14 with Bipolar Disorder 2, I did not seek treatment until depressions kept me from functioning in college at age 22. Have been on meds and therapy since. Had ECTs done Jan 2007 and they worked great but I need maint ECTs and I cannot afford them - starting to get sick a lot more again lately.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Abilify is my savior! It is only drug I can honestly say has always worked for me. Gets rid of most dark thoughts.
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- Was ok I guess. On Prozac instead now and have fewer major depressions.
- Depakote Not Working
- Never worked for me.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Not Working
- Though I did not give this much of a chance, I was annoyed with the "tell yourself this and it will become true" idea.
- Group Therapy Considering
- Looking for good group therapy. Hard to find in small town.
- Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
- I used to take this - it is good for mood stabilization imo.
- Lithium Not Working
- Never worked for me - went off of it after 2 months.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- Prozac saves me from most major depressions and major manic episodes; in my opinion it is better than a mood stabilizer.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- I have been on this drug the longest. It keeps my moods pretty stable most of the time.
- Zyprexa Not Working
- Made me gain a lot of weight! Went off it after gaining 100 lbs in a matter of months - never helped - only made me more depressed.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was dxed with Bipolar Disorder but most of my illness manifests itself as major, often suicidal, depressions. First remember feeling this way at age 12. I am on meds now but still have bouts of depression, sometimes weekly.
Treatments
- Prozac Working / Worked
- Works better for depression than any other drug I have tried, and I have been on many!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Looking for a new doc and therapist - moving to a new city soon. This is a must in my life!
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- More important than anything!
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- Helps, along with Prozac and Abilify.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I should do this more - it really helps release my demons.
- Zoloft Not Working
- Complete loss of sex drive on this ugh!
Open Personality Disorders
Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)I was DXed BPD at age 22 but ignored it until recently when my current doctor said to him it is more evident in me than is my Bipolar Disorder. So I have been doing research and omgosh it is so me it is scary! Worried there is nothing I can do to make this go away!!! It is ruining my life :(
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Venting helps.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Not Working
- I didnt like the whole tell yourself you are well and you will be well philosophy. I just cant convince myself of things that are not true.
