About Me
Im a 29 year old mum with a 7 year old daughter. I suffered depression most of my life, and have hallucinations from time to time at night(mixed episodes). Recently diagnosed 1 year ago, on better meds now after a long struggle but I'm still depressed, sometimes meds are just a small part of the puzzle for recovery.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Im Bipolar what else is there to say lol
Treatments
- Acceptance Working / Worked
- This was the most important part of getting me through bp disorder....I was not able to function until I learned to accept the Lifestyle that has to be arranged to cope with life when im different to everyone else.
- Fish Oil Too Soon to Tell
- Trial for depression, taking it everyday.. can't tell if its doing anything.
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- Very helpful for mood swings, no weight gain, not good for libido but neither is wanting to die .... so I stay on it. Most helpful anti depressant so far.
- Lithium Somewhat Helpful
- Feel Depressed on this drug, and sorta zombie like. Have trouble looking people in the eye, unmotivated.But apparently im not as moody anymore.NOT on it Anymore
- Meditation Too Soon to Tell
- Learning it to stop the pinging thoughts and focus.
- Provigil Somewhat Helpful
- Stops the irritability of having to many thoughts flying around. But spun me into mixed episodes, stopped taking it in preference to clonazepam as the 2 should never be taken together.
- Remeron Not Working
- Or avanza/Mirtazapine, Very good for sleep, thats it, caused massive weight gain and mood swings. Easy to get off it though thank god because it sux.
- Seroquel Not Working
- Did not stop hallucinations, helped sleep for awhile but my body stopped responding to it.
- Swimming Working / Worked
- Nothing better a relaxing day swimming at the beach, always lifts my mood. Every time.
- Valium Somewhat Helpful
- Had to stop taking it because of the provigil but im much more alert without it so thats good.
- Xanax Somewhat Helpful
- Was good at 'quick fix' anxiety attacks, but due to short half life, I found myself having more panic attacks than before I had started it. NOT ON THIS ANYMORE
- Zoloft Not Working
- Horrible ! Made me moodier than ever !! the more i upped my dose the more crazy i went. Hated it.
- Lamictal Not Working
- Was on it a week and became a rapid cycling mess, gave me muscle spasms in my neck which i still can't shake. Sucks.. would have been nice if this worked.
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- Good for sleep and anxiety, although a pain in the arse to get off doctors its worth it for me .. Do not mix it with alcohol though land you in lots of trouble.
Close Depression
Depressed in winter, Manic in Spring.. then depressed over my manic actions, its great isn't it? ....
