Hi! I am a 50-ish year old woman who was dx'd with bipolar 1 w/psychosis in 1996 and an STD just this year. That is my medical background. I have two kids who are grown and have had 3 grandchildren for me!! I have one granddaughter and two grandsons! And, they are the grandest! My kids grew up with me as their mom, so it wasn't always easy--but they are the BEST kids, even though their mother was bipolar while raising them! Lately I have been struggling A LOT and feel a great need to talk with those who have what I do and can understand. I am SO glad to be here!!

My maternal grandmother had schizophrenia and other mental problems and my paternal grandmother had bipolar with psychosis. My dad is bipolar. I have known something was REALLY wrong most all of my life. In 1996 I had a breakdown and was diagnosed bipolar. I did well for a number of years, but since 2004 have been struggling mostly.
I recently went to a new pdoc and told him I think I have ADD. Without really testing me for it, he went by my telling him how hard it is for me to read articles, etc. and put me on Strattera.
I went to the doctor March the 18th--a Wednesday, and found out I have herpes. My now ex-boyfriend gave it to me. He "says" he didn't know he had it and he would be tested for it. That made me smirk inside. I wondered about all the other STD's he might have--what about those?? My test results for the type of herpes I have have not come back yet. My doctor will call me when they do.
