      Hey-i see you're on Geodon. I recently got put on it and I have mild bipolar. I was curious what you thought of it..how long have you been on it? i'm on it about a week..it's been an exhausting week but i think it's working overall. my ADD seems to be even worse now, but i don't have angry mood swings and i think alot more rationally so i think it's a good thing. i go to my psych this wed to discuss it. hope you are well :)

      oh darkstar, your sincerely welcome...it's funny how much of the pain we have when we think we are so alone, but when we reach out and talk about it, we find we are not alone at all....my girls are 17 and 20, both of them have alot of pain and hurt over our past...and have alot of anger towards me....yet, i think deep down they both know how much i love them, and how truly sorry and regretful i am...i think that our kids really know that if we could only have a chance to go back...thing's would have been different...and that we love them and i think that is all they really need to know...and now we have today to make changes...i was feeling it so deep today darkstar, i had a very hard day..but then, i said to myself, "ok maggie what can you do about this feeling that is taking you over and killing u.." and i decided the only thing i could do..is allow myself to feel it, and kind of go with it..yet, i want out and took a nice walk and thought to myself, somehow i will get through this, and the present is a beautiful gift that we have..and also, for me, i try and reach out to god and give him the past in which is gone and i have no control over..and try each moment to give myself to him,....i thought to myself, i know i struggle sometimes with my beleif in god..but if i don't have a power greater than myself to trust and surrender things to, then what would i do....? i am trying each day dear darkstar...maybe we can walk together....peace for u sister, love, maggie

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I tried to commit suicide almost three weeks ago. I was rushed to the ER after eating about 120 pills. I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder after being misdiagnosed three years ago with Dysthymia. I never agreed with that diagnosis but didn't pursue it further when the meds I was on stopped working in January of this year. My mania currently takes the form of anger, rage and then violence which unfortunately I directed towards my significant other. He is standing by me through this.
