About Me
I have my B.A. in Physical Anthropology. I have been in a deep depression for the past 2 months but when I am happy I enjoy running, reading and Sephora. I have a scary smart 3 year old niece and a very supportive fiance. I come from a very tight and loving family. I love horror movies, forensics reality shows and anything about the paranormal. I used to work in a morgue and actually enjoyed it. I miss that job. But had to move back home. This is all the magic that makes me.

How have you been lately? I haven't seen you around here for awhile. I hope you're doing well. Do you have any big plans for Thanksgiving? I decided that I'm going to have it at my house this year, so I've got to get my house cleaned up. Yikes! Good excuse to get it done for decorating, though, too! I hope to see you around sometime soon! xoxo

Close Bipolar Disorder
Sick of feeling all alone with this disease. I have bipolar II.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Seems to work but without health insurance, the cost is astronomical. Luckily my family helps me pay for it.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- Worked very well when I started on it two years ago. Now, due to my severe depression I wonder if it's stopped.
- Lithium Not Working
- Side effects were too much for my dose to go high enough. This is when I switched to Lamictal.
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- Worked great for about 3 weeks then stopped. Doc put me on a higher dose and it sent me into a manic state. Had to go off it.
- Topamax Not Working
- Did not work at all for me. This was several years ago.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Worked for two years and then suddenly stopped. The precursor to my current crashed state.
- Paxil Too Soon to Tell

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionCurrently in a severe depressive state with my bipolar. Missing the mania when this happens. Feel alone.

- Paxil Working / Worked
- First drug I was put on due to depression and panic disorder. Worked great for a year and then quit working. This was prior to my bipolar diagnosis.
