    • About Me

      I am the mother of the most amazing four year old boy named slade! he is the light of my life. i recently realized that i have bipolar disorder after being misdiagnosed 4 times. it has been a relief to understand what has been going on and gives me hope that as i learn the triggers and use my medicine correctly i will never allow my life to again be what it had become. my disorder absolutely destroyed my relationship and deeply hurt the man who i love very much. i attempted suicide 5 months ago mostly due to the fact that i hated who i had become. i want to live a simple life full of love and happiness now, surrounded by friends who trust and love me. if i achieve these simple things i believe i will be a content soul and a good mother.

      Treatments

      Depakote Working / Worked
      it takes the edge off for the entire day. i feel so much calmer and can make the right emotional response easier, if that makes any sense...
      Marijuana Working / Worked
      it is working quite well thus far and i am keeping my fingers crossed. i smoke a little every morning and try to have a muffin or something with marijuana in it for the workday. i smoke as needed in the evening. marijuana also helps me to think in ways i may not have thought before and has literelly become my therapy. i have more calm in my life right now than i have ever had.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      try to only take xanax a couple of times a week because i have been addicted to it before and i tried to commit suicide with it once. but when i have a panic attack or just too much mania they are stronger than pot and my symptoms melt away. i know xanax is just a band aid and doesnt have therapeutic effects like marijuana.
    • Close Bisexuality

      well i was attracted to girls very early on in my life but due to a very strict upbringing i was not comfortable with it and was very ashamed of it during my marriage and it caused a lot of friction in my marriage. i am learning to accept myself but it is a long road i guess.

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      my struggle with bipolar disorder had a HUGE impact on our relationship. he tried really hard at first, but he became discouraged because he could not give me what i needed. (i didn't even now what that was) he drank a whole lot and that didn't mix well with my craziness. we are still friends and i love him dearly but i doubt we will ever rekindle our marriage. (although i do still hope sometimes...)

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      i had a lot of forgiving to do...especially to myself.
      Pets Working / Worked
      i got a rottweiler/pittbull mix 2 months after we broke up. he his a big sweetheart and takes up that empty spot in the bed nicely!!:)
