    • About Me

      i have been diagnosed with bp for two years. prior to that i have a history of mental illness dating back to age 14, unfortunately no one made a connection between my different moods. some of this was down to my difficulty in sharing my problems. a year ago i found my birth mother and it turns out that she also has a history of mental health issues, which kind of makes sense. i have just spent the last ten years working as a chef but have just decided that i cannot face another ten years of 60 to 70 hour weeks. if you want to know anything else please feel free to ask.

      Thanks for the hug. I hope you have a great week over in the UK. It's gloomy and about 25 degrees here. Ha, good thing I never get depressed because this weather could easily make me feel that way. :) Tink.

      Group Therapy Not Working
      hated it. the group was supposed to be very open minded. unfortunatly sometimes people with open minds let the wrong stuff get in.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      most of the time i feel it works pretty well. for saying that i have been suffering bouts of anxiety and depression recently, though my life is pretty hectic and complicated at the moment so who knows
