About Me
I've always felt most at home in the outdoors, in really wild places. The quote, "In wilderness lies the salvation of mankind" holds very true for me. I've spent my life exploring the west, from Texas to Alaska, Montana to Washington. I love nothing better than setting out with my golden retriever for a day or weekend or week of hiking. A few years ago, I gave into inevitability and became an ecologist. As with teaching, ecology can only be a calling. I have great friends and family who I don't see often enough. Life is good, challenging but good.

Havent been on much and then I come on and you havent written anything...how boring. Got a hot date? I had a hairy drive from Poulsbo to Inidianola the other dark and rainy night, a 25 mindrive took me 2 hours really bad trip. Am going to the Music Project place that looks like the squashed sack next wednesday. Finished crocheting a big granny square afghan and am now just putting on the fringe. ta ta ml

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Life is very good at times, and tough at other times. I've been living with bp since childhood. With the moodswings and instability, my folks took me to doctors and the doctors never understood. I was finally diagnosed for depression in my late twenties and bp about seven years ago. The meds are working. Hope happens.
Treatments
- Fish Oil Somewhat Helpful
- Might be working, who knows. I'm going to keep at it.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- Worked until the stress of my job made me crash through the drugs like a tsunami. I am on 200 mg per day and will increase the dose when I can afford to.
- DailyStrength Working / Worked
- It has been nice to relate to others with this condition. I've met some cool people here and love journaling!
Close Healthy Sex
There really is a place where adults can rationally and respectfully discuss sexuality? Amazing!
