About Me
Im a 45 year old female. Dual diagnosed at 24 with ADHD and depression, drug addiction, and now at 43 bipolar. I want to learn to live in spirit and grow with God's teachings.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Starting from where???? I'm 45 years old and been battling with mental illness and drug addiction for 30 years. Adolescence was rough had abusive parents, turned to drugs, which led to suicide attempts and hospitalizations. Diagnosed with ADHD at 24 and Bipolar at 43. I still occassionally use coke, dont drink. I'm at an ok time in my life now, sort of settled.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- 10 mg makes me dizzy take 5 keeps me level not irritable
- Depakote Not Working
- Did not work for me.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Dr just increased my meds to 300 mg a day up from 250, no side effects, increased dose too soon to tell.

Started using cocaine in my 20's to self medicate. Now since being diagnosed with ADHD/Bipolar, use less.

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
Hi, just fund this group. It's tough to admit your parents did a lot of harm to you when you were a child. But I believe the scars last a life time. For this I have no children. I know I hear you need to forgive, I have. You need to go on, been to therapy, quit blaming your past, etc. If people realized the extent of a life time of damage done to a child by physical and emotional abuse this world might be a better place. I don't want to rehash the abuse now.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- never could get over the self esteem issues
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- Realize it was what my parents were taught and what their parents where taught.
