I was a special education teacher, who is currently goimg out out on disability. I am trying to get a business together making jewelry and other beaded items. I have BIPOLAR II disorder. This is a constant challenge in my life. I am a SHOPAHOLIC. I think this is because I am trying to fill a gap in in my life - something which is missing. As I become more spiritual, and understand myself better, the need to shop is subsiding. I am OVER 50 AND LOVING IT. Age us just a number. I love most of the memories, the wisdom I have gained, how much I am now open to learning. I am SPIRITUAL, BUT NOT RELIGIOUS. I suspect I am a metagifted indigo adult. I love all things spiritual, but cannot get into organized religon. I try to live by THE FOUR AGREEMENTS. This is Toltec wisdom, taught by Don Miguel Ruiz. I have two adorable kitties, named Ozzie, Oscar Two Moons, and Maggie May Izzabell.

I have suffered from depression as long as I can remember. I wasn't always depressed as a child, but had times of extreme depression. I have taken many different medications and am currently taking medication. I am depressed, anxious, fearful, and confused right now, despite medication. I am undergoing a lot in life right now.
I have been going through menopause for about 10 years now. I had my last period 3 years ago, but am still having hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Will these ever go away?
Three days ago, I was diagnosed with COPD and chronic bronchitis.
I have never been officially diagnosed as being bipolar. I've been diagnosed as being clinically depressed. But, I have severe ups, as well as severe downs.
Back in the day, I would put my head on the pillow and instantly fall asleep. Now and for the past 8 years, sleep doesn't come easy. Part of my problem is due to RLS and neuropathy in my feet. But, sometimes like right at this moment, I wake up after being asleep for just a few hours.
I live in Michigan. In the winter months, we barely see daylight, if we work. I go to work in the dark. I get out of work, and on cloudy days, there is a half hour of daylight. I usually get depressed in late January until March.
I have always been attracted to "the bad boy". The relationship always centers around sex. I would like to have a relationship where sex is like the cherry on top. I want more for once than just sex.
I am currently taking care of my 90 year-old mother.
