About Me
The best way to describe me right now is to say that I am going through a transition in life. I just finished school, got married, had a child. It's everything one would expect from a woman my age. Now comes the next phase - new challenges and new triumphs. It's time to make things right.

Little Love
Hiya! I am SO SO sorry I haven't responded to your messages. I totally wasn't pissed at all- or upset or offended or anything like that. It would be nearly impossible to offend me! No, I'm just lame and sometimes get behind in my messages- and then I forget! :-) I am really sorry, I certainly didn't mean to offend you, either. xxxx

Close Bipolar Disorder
I was very recently diagnosed with bipolar and I am having a very difficult time dealing with the diagnosis and am fearful of how taking anti-psychotics will affect me. I've been treated for major depression for more than a decade, and suspect that I never got a bipolar diagnosis because I never stuck with a doctor long enough for him to see my lows and highs. I feel trapped by this label. I fear that I'll never "function". I fear I cannot be a good role model for my son.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- I can't sleep at night without Trazadone when on this drug. I used to only have to take the Traz ocasionally
- Celexa Working / Worked
- This is the only anti-depressant that has had a sustained positive effect on my depression. I am affraid to ever let it go.
- Geodon Not Working
- Yucky Yuk Yuk Twitch Yawn Yuck!
- Holistic Health Working / Worked
- I did Tai Chi and Chi Gong for about two years and it was wonderful. It helped calm my anxiety and order my thoughts. Daily practice was very benificial.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I felt very jittery on this drug. I was hypersensitive to noise, changes in lighting and temperature. Weird experience.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- So far so good. I almost immediately felt better with this one but crashed within a month of starting the drug. I am on 90mg daily with 40 mg of Celexa.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- This worked well but I made the personal decision to let it go because I was not taking it as prescribed. Instead of taking .5mg 3 times daily I would typically take 02 daily so I would have extra for particually anxiety invoking events before which I would pop 35. I became dependant and thought that not having a regular dosage was negatively affecting my depression.

When I was fourteen I was raped. I blamed myself for another fourteen years. I dealt with it in therapy for the first time last year. Talking about it helps, but it sickens me so much. I know it wasn't my fault now, but sometimes I wish I still thought it was. Seemed easier.

Open Health Care Reform
It is my postion that government should not allow private industry to profit from her people's pressing physical and mental heath issues. People die everyday because they can't afford to see the doctor. ER visits is NOT equal access to medical care and I will SCREAM the next time someone makes the arguement. What are the poor, or working and middle class for that matter, supposed to do when uninsured supposed to do when they leave the doc with a $500 prescription. Single Payer NOW!
Open Financial Challenges
I just finished my B.S. degree and I have $40,000 worth of school debt, $5,000 of credit card/loan debt, and $7,000 in medical care debt. I need help to get out, and I hope to find some great advice from all of you.
