About Me
I'm Bipolar and also dealing with PTSD. I've got a good life, family, a very supportive fiance, and I am also a singer. But sometimes Depression is a demon on my shoulder and it makes me believe I have nothing and am nothing. I am having a bit of a hard time recognizing it for what it is right now. But I'm resilient.

Interests
Reading...constantly in the pursuit of knowledge. People who are funny, but kind, who take responsibility for themselves and try to get better. People in general actually. I find others far more interesting than myself. I love music. Detroit Motown to Tom Waits to P!nk, to Dinah Washington. I prefer docs or alt movies to big cinema, but I can't deny that I am a sucker for good horror flicks. Loooove pets. Pray one day for a Pug dog. I read a lot of biographies...um...I like being fit, and hiking and camping.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I just want to face myself, and not put on a happy mask in public. This is a home I want to create for myself. Somewhere safe and open-minded
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- It was helpful for a time
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- I was on this for a few years, but 'life happened' and it just couldn't keep me stabilized.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- I think this medication has been the most beneficial. With it I haven't felt suicidal in years. I don't tend to spiral as badly or as often.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- It's the timed-release version, and although I can get groggy, it has aided in stabilizing my anxiety issues.
- Tegretol Not Working
- It just couldn't seem to keep the mood swings at bay. I tried for awhile
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- This medication just made me sick. I couldn't tolerate it, and the nausea.
Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I lost my brother very suddenly to Cancer. I was also sexually assualted in a park. But somehow the sexual assualt feels minor to the impact of my brothers death. My attacker was in jail for a long time. But my brother was a good person who respected woman, and he's the one who had to die.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Love my therapist. She treats me as an intellectual equal, and I am now re-learning how to stay safe, be less trusting but fair, and how to re-navigate through all the pain.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Seroquel has stopped many nightmares, and keeps me a little more relaxed. It is powerful. My only issues with it are the lethargy, and the fear that I may not wake up in a time of crisis.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a SiblingEvery upset, minor or moderate in my life that has nothing to do with my brothers death still HAS to do with his death. Sometimes I don't know if I'm crying about something because I'm connecting to him.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I love my therapist, but she does not specialize in 'grief councelling.' I can't face that right now. I feel safe with her. But I'm not entirely ready to break or remember.
Open Loneliness
I just seem to be isolating more and more. I do see family, but have little contact with friends. I have a wonderful fiance, but I'm still alone during the day.
