    • About Me

      I am often the life of the party, seem to be lots of peoples best friend on an emotional level too, am often upbeat and cracking jokes but thoughts of sucide regularly flow through my mind, hidden from the world! I am an ultra-rapid cycling Bipolar Type 2 so I suppose it's only natural to be like that! I'm very flamboiant too. I spend quite a lot of time on my own, which is when the darkness mostly comes....

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Well, been feeling the effects of this disorder since I was about 12 or so I think. Was'nt diagonsed until about a year and a half ago, after I had wrongly been diagonsed as depressed by my GP but went into 2 and a half years of induced hypomania, brought on by an SSRI & got into a pile of debt (25K) & a whole heep of random, insane trouble. Had some fun too though!I dont trust Docs now,only my very well informed opinion. I work F/time for the police but I am also a Holistic Massage Therapist.

      Treatments

      Aromatherapy Working / Worked
      Always have my lavender and ylang ylang blend own blend on a burner in my room. Really REALLY helps my mood.
      Depakote Somewhat Helpful
      Not too sure if this works! But gone for working. Makes you fat, thats for sure! Went up to 2000mg 3 weeks but it really screwed me up, left me really confused and agitated. Had to take 3 weeks off work to get it out of my system. I had uped it from 1500mg and I am on that now.
      Lamictal Not Working
      Was on 100mgs. Made me hypomanic. Stopped this just in time!
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      Now on 200mg extended release. the XR is much much better. Not so hungry, not putting on weight, not so tired as before when I took this. Stopping paranoia and anxiety for sure, but still not perfect.

    • Open Insomnia

      I can't sleep! A mecial insomniac! I get around 4 hours a night or very frequently broken sleep. I have huge circles already, at my age!! I am BP so I'm told it's because of this.

      Treatments

      Counting Sheep Not Working
      This did nothing for me.
      Lavender Somewhat Helpful
      Definately helps.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Relaxing music I use when perfomring massges does help a lot.
      Restoril Somewhat Helpful
      Works well but very addictive so I can't take it often. 20mg
      Valerian Not Working
      Found it usless.
      Lunesta Working / Worked
      Works well but cant take it often as it will loose its effect. 7.5mg
