    • About Me

      I am Ultarian cycling bipolar. My cycling ranges from week to week to hour by hour. I have a very loving and understanding husband who I can talk to about anything. I have 2 boys, 6 and 10. My 10 year old is also bipolar. Although I was a bipolar child I didn't know what was wrong with me until 3 years ago. I have a really great therapist who noticed it right off.
