    • About Me

      I'm here for support, to give support, get information when I need it, and talk to wonderful people as I have on this blog. I was diagnosed with bipolar I disorder July 2006 and I am finally getting more stable than I have ever been, but still struggle with the beast. Check out my song on youtube, I wrote it for my friends on the BP network.. and hey... for anyone!

      I was diagnosed with bipolar when i was 18, fresh out of highschool, though we (my family and i) knew something wasnt working before the diagnosis. i was previously diagnosed with depression. i have some interesting depression stories and some even more intriguing manic stories. i have taken myself off medication before and have experienced psychosis a couple of times. i am not at my best these days but hopefully things will be looking up soon.
