Despite my long list of support groups, I'm well-adjusted and in touch with my emotions. The rapid-cycling bipolar 1 is my biggest struggle, as I haven't been stable for more than 6 weeks since I was about 16. Usually I handle it well, but sometimes it's overwhelming. I'm a loving, energetic, artistic woman who loves life.

I realized that I wasn't straight when I was 17, and came out as bi to a few close friends when I was 18. Later that year, after I'd turned 19, I came out as a lesbian and broke up with my boyfriend at that time. Four months or so later I came back to calling myself bi. I figure I'm about a 3, or maybe 3.5 on the Kinsey scale, so I'm pretty close to the middle. I think it's great!
I had a major panic attack my senior year of college (I ended up being taken in an ambulance because the paramedics thought it was a heart attack). I've only had a few bad ones since, but I'm trying to manage it so I can deal with crowds and not have to be afraid of freaking out in public.
Two of my dear friends died in a plane crash at the end of July. I've dealt with some of the grief, but it still hits me hard sometimes. My grandfather also died on October 1st.
I'm attracted to men and women, and I've been out for about 2 years now. I can more easily see myself with a woman long-term and I would like to find a girlfriend in 2009.
My friend Kevin committed suicide in the spring of 2004.
