heya. i havnt been here in a while. things have been hectic and just poping in to let everyone know how im doing.
My bipolar has been stable since july ive just had other health issues and withdrawal affect m y mood along with pretty bad SAD his year but ive barely had any mania or hypo mania which by now id have had many...
the only thing different this year as some know is i am taking an ortho molecular treatment (OMT). i am so glad i found this treatment. it has saved my life as with now haveing my daughter to worry about i dont know how many more times i could have handled going through a meds switch before i just gave up. i was tired of not knowing how long my meds would work before i had to start over again or just emotionally shut down to make it more bearable.
Its been 7 months since i started its been rough but overall I have many good days and some bad rather than the other way around. now what have to worry about now is since ive been doing so well, i am even more scared of getting sick again. My mind is clear (most days) of the brain fog i had from meds Im alot more rational and Ive even been back to work (preferred being home with baby so it didnt work out but i was able to!)
Im able to enjoy my kid now which i honestly dont think i could have done with where i was emotionaly in early july before i started my new treatment. i was in the middle of a psycotic break and within a week my mind cleared up and i was able to wean off my medication as i was starting to get toxic from them after i started OMT. Im still going through withdrawal though i was able to wean off my meds about 4 or 5 months ago that crap stores in your liver and it randomly likes makeing an appearance... no wonder they say its harder to get off things like effexor than it is to get off heroine...
its been tough but not as tough as the years of medicated numbness or the natural highs ald lows that is bipolar ...
one of the hardest parts is getting used to a range of emotion again and not think about it possibly being a mood swing due to bipolar but its nowhere near as intense. its an average range and i quite like it this way =)
well its time to go hug the baby so take care all. i will do my best to periodically post my progress.
