About Me
Wow, since I spent my whole life taking care of other people who were ill I really am not sure who I am, trying to find out! It took 10 years, 6 pdocs and 10-15 kinds of meds for a good Dr. to finally diagnose me as being hypomania. Now on the right meds I have slowed down and have been better for almost 3 years. I still have ups and downs and get really scared of the big drop but so far so good.

I am on Medicare, but unless you have a supplement insurance you still have to pay a lot out of pocket. Dental is not covered, I went through this when I had to have 8 teeth out and some nice people I knew gave me over $2000.00 to have then out. There really is no place around here. It is so hard for me to do things on my own and I have people that say they will help, but they never come through. I get very frustrated that I can't do it myself. I don't have very many people around me that believe I am really sick, they do not understand depression nor do they want to. They think I am just being lazy. You know what I say f--- them. I am really tired so I am going back to bed. Thanks!

Close Bipolar Disorder
I was not diagnosed till 4 years ago with hypomania although I am sure had it my whole life. I was manic all those years and thought I was fine till I crashed and it was a big one. Now I am just trying to stay stable.
