    • About Me

      I am an accountant during the day, a wife to a beautiful and wonderful man, a christian who is very blessed by God and I am Bi-Polar. So here today I find myself seeking something that can take this feeling from me. I am afraid of loosing everything I have.

    • Get Well Soon!

      From BipolarPrincess August 12

      God has done nothing to me that was ever good. I liked that post but I don't believe in god. My mother beggs me to go to church and become a born again but her pleas get her nowhere. I am wiccan. I been that way since I was a teen and realizing that God wasn't hearing my prayers and going to church on my own and putting a smile on my face while I was being abused wasn't doing me a whole lot of good. Sorry you're feeling so low but I don't believe the creation theory exists.

      Hi Shelby. Welcome to the site, Sweetie. I read about your doubts and fears. You will NOT lose everything! You have to work up to just accepting that you have BP, like we have all had to do, and then you will be okay with it and learn to manage it. It is genetic and oh, I wish I knew the where and when and who of the beginning of it! All I know is that it comes from my mom's side of the family, only because a cousin was diagnosed with it. I am very stable right now on Depakote (the generic) and Lexapro. I have never felt so good for so long and I hope I will be like this forever. But I am also aware that it could change at any time. I pray it won't. You are a lucky duck to have a great husband and your kitties. I am going through life alone, but I do have wonderful friends and a fantastic daughter! I have two little girl cats, too. I wish that I could find a good and decent man to share my life with, but they are terribly scarce where I live and I do not get out much. I hope to in the future. I welcome you warmly and hope that this site will increase your good feelings day by day.
      Big Hug!
      Judith
