About Me
I'm a 20 year old girl living in Texas and having a tough time of it. I was dxed Bipolar a few years back, started cutting just before that... sigh, life. I use a 12 step program for the cutting, and have found it to improve my life somewhat in general- as long as i don't flake. I'm here because everyone can always use some more support.

Thanks for the little inspiration. ...I stopped cutting for three weeks, and now am back to it. I don't know why, but I'm not as dissapointed with myself as I should be. I too had a promising future adhead of me. Straight A's in high school, and on my way to NYU. The summer before moving to NYU, it all became too much. By the time I started my freshman year, I watched everything crumble in front of me. I had to leave. I now attend a community college, while trying to find some sort of stability in the midst of bipolar II and self harm.

I think its simply different for everyone and respecting peoples choices is the key thing when trying to help or support someone. So i wasn't judging anyone, i may one day want to take meds too but at the moment i feel i can control myself without it, so i do.. But anyway, like i said i wanna help and support others so if you ever need anything, ya know where to find me (ranting away somewhere.. hehe!) :-) take care, i hope everything goes well for you..

Close Bipolar Disorder
Start of my senior year- I sit pretty in the top ten percent of my class. First semester draws to a close, I'm in the mental hospital for the last three weeks. Winter semester and my life, once revolving around my studies, my mind, my intelligence, my learning- now crumbles before my eyes. I nearly drop out of high school, and the girl who everyone thought would have it all- lives on disability with a dismal future ahead.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Seems to help with the psychosis
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Lamictal Not Working
- Been on it for awhile, it probably helped a little in the very beginning and then pooped out.
- Topamax Not Working
- It just made me stupid, I hate this med
Close Self-Injury
Freshmen in high school and I randomly pick up a dental pick, of all things, and carve a neat few lines on my arms. I blamed the cat. This random impulse would shortly become an out of control whirl wind in my life. I struggle daily with the urge to hurt, and I have found fleeting relief as I work a twelve step AA style program.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Talking talking talking to my boyfriend...
