    • About Me

      I am a mother of a 5 year old girl. She is the light of my life and I wouldn't be writing this right now if it wasn't for her. I got divorced 3 years ago, and have been much happier ever since. I have been bp since I was 15 years old and it hasn't been under control until recently. 6 months and counting. I am a stay at home mom because I am on disability. I haven't been stable enough to work since my daughter was born. I'm just living day by day and hope to continue down the right path.

      My first passion is my daughter, of course. Then it would have to be skiing the one thing I'm good at. I'm a ski instructor in the winter here. I also enjoy running, it gives me a great release. And my last real joy is to shop, that would explain all my manic debt.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have been bipolar since I was 15, now at 30 years old am finally well. It has been a very rocky road to recovery, and at some points it looked like I wasn't going to make it. I am now a single mother after a failed marriage of a 3 year old girl. She is the light of my light and has gotten me through the last couple years of severe ups and downs. I am also an alcoholic and drug addict now recovered and I just recently quit smoking too. My life hit rock bottom before it got better.
