    • About Me

      I would love to say that I'm a positive upbeat person, but I'm not. I'm just trying to make it day to day. I'm a 31 yr. old female college graduate trying to make ends meet and keep myself from falling apart. I'm compassionate, kind, funny, and a kid at heart. However, this sometimes is overshadowed by the ugliness of Bipolar disorder and aggravated by my Fibromyalgia.

    • Interests

      I love animals, particularly cats. I had a 16 yr old cat that I lost last year. The love of my life. Now I have a new cat, a young buck that keeps me on my toes. I read. I like to read feel good books, chick lit. Reading can be a vacation from everyday life. I like to cross-stitch, plant flowers, browse the web (not for nonsense) for learning new things. Last but definitely not least, I love learning about the Lord. He's the reason I'm around today.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed w/ this, that, and the other at first. I finally was diagnosed w/ bipolar II in 2003. Of course my problems began way before that. I have had severe, debilitating depressive episodes. The hypomania/ mania comes in the form of pure rage. I'm managing though. I have a good job, a car, a good family.

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      Once I was pretty level w/ the meds, the therapy actually helped.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      I have been taking 400 mg per day of Lamictal for about 2 years. It's really helped me level out. It causes terrible memory problems, but it's a good trade.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      I think it helped at first, but after being on it for six months, it seems like it just started losing its effect.
      Zyprexa Not Working
      That stuff made me have hallucinations.
      Valium Working / Worked
      I can take up to 4 10mg tablets a day. I dont. One here and there helps take the edge off though at work.
    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Well, I'm 30 years old. I diagnosed w/ fibromyalgia when I was 22. Of course, I went from doctor to doctor, getting more discouraged every time. When I did find a doctor, of course the treatments didn't work; muscle relaxers, anti-flammatory drugs. I felt doomed. On top of that, I have I a mental illness. Now, my pain is really "in my head". I just said "forget doctors." I haven't seen one in 8 years. I need to find some way to get better though.

      Treatments

      Aqua Therapy Considering
      Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
      Mainly it just helped me sleep.
      Guaifenesin Somewhat Helpful
      I feel some better, but I don't know if this is the cause.
      Heat Not Working
      Vitamin B12 Somewhat Helpful
      I feel some better, but I don't know if this is the cause.
