About Me
INFP, from the test i took. means i'm quiet and sort of a Dreamer. I'm also a bit scattered on the friend-front, so please don't take it personal if I forget who/where/what. If I'm not good about keeping up, please don't take it personal. I'm only here very sporadically.

music of all kinds, nature & natural sciences (strictly amateur here), animals, film noir, art from classical to avantgarde, surrealism of all kinds, book art, poetry, sound art, politics. Am doing some digital photography stuffage. All things psychedlic (can't do the drugs so i have to find it thru art/music) Humor is lifesaving to me; favorites are Stephen Colbert, Daily Show, Big Lebowski, most any Jack Black, Will Farrell is also a fave spazz. Anything spazzy will do.

Close Bipolar Disorder
After many diagnoses over the years (including 2 hospitalizations) I'm sticking with the rapid cycling diagnosis. It makes the most sense. Before my severe depressions overshadowed the mania and I thought it was just the Paxil (which is a pretty harsh med I think-- it's a real jolt to the system and I had a near-seizure on it) Now, however, I agree with the BP diagnosis and Lamictal seems really helpful. I'm looking for other meds that don't make me so fat though (40 lb gain)
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- loved it while in the hospital-- almost too good; seems like I could get addicted.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- just got a book on it.
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
Close Depression
Had severe depression since childhood; runs in the family. some chemical, some situational. hospitalized 3x; am rapid cycling Bipolar but depression was what brought me to therapy. Am currently struggling with unemployment & trying to put my life back together but am kind of apathetic (lame, I know but sometimes I feel like "why bother?") trying to overcome some obstacles, some of which are due to my own lack of stability.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- had group therapy and did workbook. I think this is useful and wish I'd done it sooner. Traditional psychoanalysis was such a massive waste of time and money...
