    • About Me

      Hello, My Doc. has just diagnosed me as Bipolar II. However, It's just a diagnosis, ive known it for years. It's been a dark journey but one I have hung around for, you see, my daughter is also Bipolar we need to be there for each other. She will never let me give up and I will never let her give up. That's just the way it is. Hopefully I'm on the right track now. God Bless You All Nita

I know Ive been Bipolar all my life however, have never been properly treated, or if I have the meds had terrable side affects so I would stop cold turkey. I have been on an antidepressent for 9 months (Effexor). I gained 50lbs, had no control over money, spent wayyy to much and was depressed or manic most of the time. Reciently my doctor put me on Lamictil and Paxil. I'm hoping it stops the mania. Have a Great Day :)
