About Me
I am a homemaker, however my children are getting older so I am looking to go back to work. However I am being advised by certain professionals to give it more time. Meanwhile I am constantly bored and unfulfilled. I love my family very much, yet I feel there is more I have to offer as an individual. I have had bipolar for 8 years and it has effected every aspect of my life. It is only recently I have glimsed the light at the end of a very dark tunnel and I am determined to get there. So lets party!

Interests
I like spending time with my family and friends, walking my dog and I have just recently restarted the gym. Like cleaning while listening to my fave cd's, Amy Winehouse and Alicia Keys at present. I'd rather listen to music than watch t.v.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Hello all, I have lived with bipolar disorder type 1 for 8 long years. Following diagnosis I have had a lengthy battle with numerous medications. The latest "miracle drug being seroquel". I am looking for support and advice from people who live with mental illness.
Treatments
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- Helped me when I was sectioned to combat a manic episode.
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- controlled mood swings but left me feeling numb.
- Equetro Not Working
- No Change, except for excessive sweating and agitation.
- Haldol Somewhat Helpful
- Very first medication helped me through the manic stage, but left me feeling helpless and insecure
- Lithium Somewhat Helpful
- Levels were never consistant
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Helps with my sleep patterns, although I gained 50 pound over 5 years. Not good,but no other side afffects.
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- Was on this for depression before being diagnosed with bp. Helped me sleep.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- It helped to lift me out of my depressive stage.
