    • About Me

      I was diagnosed bipolar1 when I was 15. I am now 24. The battle to become stable and feel well was a long, hard and bumpy road but it seems to be well worth the fight. I have been stable for about a year now and I haven't felt better. Although times are tough for me at the moment, I keep a positive outlook. I am so thankful for such a great mother that helps me when I need it and puts me in my place when I need it. She is my hero. One thing I tell myself is "I am NOT bipolar!" "I HAVE bipolar disorder!". See how that is different is that bipolar is not who I am, it's what I have.

      Music is my life. I love cars and basketball and I love being outdoors. Right now, I have a boyfriend named Matt. He is such a wonderful person. It is very serious between us. He is in the Navy and is deployed. I miss him but I'm proud to be the girlfriend of a warrior.

      Treatments

      Seroquel Working / Worked
      I have been on so many different medications since I was 15. I am now 24. I don't even remember all of them. I have finally found the one that is good for me. There are not many side affects that I have noticed. Sleepiness and hunger mostly. I finally feel balanced. It's a great feeling. I also take Buspirone for anxiety.

    • Open Family Issues

      My dad was never there for our family. He still isn't there for his kids. My mom and dad are now divorced. My mom remarried a wonderful man, Mike. I concider him more of a dad than my real father. I don't talk to my father much because of what happened about a year ago. It's a long story.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      Music always helps to deal with any situation.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I started therapy because of family issuses and I wanted to know why I always clinged to men. Well, I found out a lot of things and I feel more at peace with myself.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I like to express how I'm feeling to people that I know are going to support me. It helps a lot.
