About Me
Theres a tornado in my head. I am Bipolar mixed episodes and a recovering alcoholic. Just trying to hang on. I am a waitress. Not married and have no kids. Thank goodness, I have a hard enough time on my own. I love animals and am studying to be a vet tech so I can work with animals more so than people.

Close Bipolar Disorder
I have been hospitalized twice for "attempts" of alcohol related suicide; then they determined with blood work and such that I was severe bipolar. Now I take SOME meds. Recently got a DUI and am paying for that one...didn't know you couldn't carry your meds outside script bottle. boyfriend and I just broke up and I moved out. I haven't had a drink since Jan. So I'm back with my parents and depressed as ever. Looking for some support.

I got a dui for my bp meds. They weren't in their correct containers and I got busted. Well I wasn't drunk but I will say that my pdoc had prescribed me something new about two days prior and whew when they kicked in.....I was sent home from work and on way. So I got a year probation, suspended license, 50 hrs comm serv. about $3000 in fines dui school and now group sessions for 24 wks. Little harsh I believe but oh the joys of living in FL. I love animals, cooking, plants,and reading.
