    • About Me

      I was diagnosed this past summer after my job was lost. I have a 15 month old and a husband. My mother has had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for 10 years and it scares me because I don't want this for my daughter. I tend to worry a lot and I scratch my head with out knowing because of my nerves. I got a job in August but, not much has changed mentally. I am on depakote and take the max dose of 1000 milligrams. It has blurred my vision badly too! I can take it at night with two benadryl and I still don't all fall asleep until 12 am and I wake up at 4:45am. I also work out at 5am for 30min. I am a teacher so when I get home I do 3 miles with my daughter and also 45 min workout at night. I need help on what to do next. I do though want to keep the exercising up though because I am at the smallest I have ever been. Please help me because I go to the doctor soon and I am afraid he wants to try lithium next. My mom said I would not want take it at all.

    • I’m With You

      From Kalima123 September 7

      We have a wise range of musical tastes on the board so you'll fit right inl Also, my mom was bipolar as well, it's amazing how many of us there are. But she's a musical fan and I like Nine Inch Nails (plus a wide variety of genres - just not musicals, country, rap or hip hop) but please feel free to write about any music that you like! Welcome!
