About Me
I have bipolar 1 disorder. I am being treated with lamictal, seroquel, and fish oil with some success. Doing much better on these meds than anything before. I am a former marine on disabiliy due to bp1. I stay at home, only going out to a few stores for supplies, and to the va hospital for doc appts. Therapists keep telling me to get out, they're wrong, I do much better at home by myself rather than out in the chaos. I have a va social worker/friend is the only one who really knows me and understands me. He has helped me more than anybody else in my whole life. He is the only person I trust.
Interests
My interests include any kind of art. I draw, paint, and play guitar.

Close Bipolar Disorder
I have been fighting bipolar 1 disorder for eighteen plus years. I have been on too many medication combinations to list here. I am now on a med combo of lamictal and seroquel and undergoing cognitive therapy that is finally working incredibly well--- I finally feel normal!
Treatments
- Fish Oil Working / Worked
- I am taking 9.2 grams/day.I strongly believe it is helping my mood.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- currently on lamictal at 500mg/dy and is working completely.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Is working extremely well.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- I have a psychologist now, for the first time, and I get to be seen by him for psychotherapy for at least. I was really in need of this and it has been very helpful.
