    • About Me

      I have been a bi-polar suvivor for almost 40 years. As time goes on I have problem coping with the side effects of medication and have become increasingly isolated. I am very in tune to my moods and I fear that my lack of impulse control aka rudeness is a wee bit to much for most people so I avoid a lot of interactions by shopping on-line and distanceing myself from new people.

I always have been and am more likey to be manic then depressed. I have had 3 major depressive episodes in my life and each one did take a toll. I was successful in my career, in my marriage and with my children. I was lucky to marry the most wonderful man in the world who understood and helped me live. He died
