About Me
I could hide the bipolar disorder but not the Lupus too. I've been sick with Lupus 7 years and not worked for over four yrars. I have 1 daughter, divorced, and 1 grandson. Before Lupus I was an independent successful professional single woman, working 50-60 hrs/week. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and I have developed social anxiety and tend to seclude myself from people. I don't like who I am now, I'm a shell of the person I once was. I'm working on trying to develop a life without the structure of the professional business world. Starting over to make a life for myself!

Interests
I have a degree in decorating...I love nothing more than redecorating for a friend. Love to scrapbook, garden, read, philanthropic projects and oh yes...and cook with a friend! However the diseases have taken my interests away. MOSTLY THOUGH, I treasure the time with my daughter, Stacia (she's 28) and grandson, Tristen (now 3 and hoping the 3's will be easier than the 2's were LOL)! PICS BELOW...

Thinking of you too, my friend. A couple of the people that I passed on Letter from God to really appreciated it. I also have another belief in why I send things, which I rarely do. If I bombard people with fwds, as my aunt sends, they will tend to just delete them b4 opening them...I sure do. Blessings xoxoxo

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I tend to seclude myself, letting everyone think it is the Lupus, ashamed of being bipolar. I kept the BP disorder a secret since I was diagnosed at 31. But now the physical pain of the Lupus along with the mental demons is many days unbearable. I keep in touch w/my therapist and take my meds. However, some days they don't seem to work at all. There's a lack of joy along with the absence of energy and creativity. The constant pain has left me a shell of the person I once was.
Treatments
Close Lupus
I've been dealing with Lupus for 6 years now. It's been very dibilitating. I had to quit working over 3 years ago because my flares became so frequent and the pain and fatigue are extreme. As much as I want to be and as hard as i try...I'm not happy. I want to be happy again. I want to WANT to see people and socialize! I WANT to LIVE more of my life.
