    • About Me

      I am living with Bipolar I disorder and have been for a very long time, although I was officially diagnosed in 2005. I am happily married and was hoping to have a child some time this year. I weaned off my meds and now it looks like I need to be back on them. It is a frustrating process. I just want to be able to "do/have it all" without BP getting in the way all of the time and throwing me for all these loops. I love meeting new people, so please stop by to say hello if you find the time!
