About Me
I was diagnosed with bi-polar about 7 years ago..I had already gone thru a divorce after a long term marriage,spent all of my money,lost my house,allianated all of my children...really messed up my life.. I loaded up my new husbands credit cards without him knowing..(I was able to keep up for awhile) he forgave me but between that, his loosing $120,000 in the stock market from his union retirement..and the credit problem..we are struggling now.

Please don't do it.

hope your day is well... thanks for the journal comment. Sorry for not getting back with you all the while. Its just when I get in a very depressed mood, I stay on the board or just write in the journal to express my feelings. I even do this in my everyday life. I avoid phone calls and stay away from everyone. I dont know why I do it and its strange I know, but its the only way I know how to deal. Hope you are having a wonderful day. And the journal advice is some of the best advice I have ever gotten. You truely are a wonderful friend and trust me, even though I havent responded much I have been listening to your every work. lots of love xoxoxoxoxo

Close Bipolar Disorder
I have bi-polar disease and am really in crisis......... needed something!
Treatments
- Depakote Working / Worked
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- The depakote seems fine but wellbutrin for depression is not helping! Dr. would like Lexapro (He is also a Teacher at The University of Minnnesota Medical School) but I get the "rash"
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered from depression since I was veery young.8 years ago bi-polar disease was added..I have had a rough time lately and the 300mg. dailywellbutrin XL just doesn't seem to help. I have been very suicidal lately thinking of it all the time and planning it out. But have not gone that far so as to not hurt others.I came here to hear others and ask for their help.

Open Family Issues
my children are estranged from me for 8 years now (my 2 youngest) of 5. They have been since my diagnosis of bi-polar disease...and they found out about some financial issues. Even tho they did not affect them personally. It breaks my heart..I wish they would give me one opportunity to sit down with them and talk about it even if they are angry. I try to let it go as my husband says but I was a good mom and even tho their father and I are divorced (15 years) They were all grown up.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- See a counselor 2X a month...
