About Me
I'm a mama who loves being a musician and a librarian. I think if I didn't have bipolar I would have missed out on a lot of richness in life. I love the fact that I can feel the extremes of every emotion. I love the people I now know and love with the disease and how incredibly amazing they are. I love being in nature as it makes me feel calm and in love.

Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed 10 years ago, but I think it was early onset. I remember symptoms from childhood. My Mom was undiagnosed my whole childhood and was single so life was definately a roller coaster ride. I try to keep myself educated as much as possible.
Treatments
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- I still find my moods are quite erratic but it definately takes away the severity.
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- It was very helpful when I was just diagnosed as I was able to relate to other and I also made some friends that understood me which is priceless!
- Holistic Health Working / Worked
- Took a homoepathic remedy. It seemed to marry with meds very well. I also take Salmon oil three times a day and a herb calls Rhindon. When I'm stressed it helps.
- Lithium Not Working
- It Didn't work for me at all. My mom is still on it and she is very ill. she refuses to go off it. she doesn't even have a psychiatrist so she is not getting adequate treatment. I was hospitalized within a month after starting on it.
- Risperdal Somewhat Helpful
- I have been having Tardive Dyskenizia because of this medication. I went off and the withdrawl was terrible. Got psychotic again because of the stress from Christmas and had to go back on it. Now am back off of it. The withdrawl was awful.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- I just started on it, and the first week was an adjustment I could hardly keep my eyes open. I don't have any side effects other than wanting to eat crap food all the time. I feel like the voices in my head are gone because of this med, so that is great!@
- Yoga Working / Worked
- Does wonders for me. If I do it I feel the effects of happiness and calm for days.
