    • About Me

      Diagnosed Bipolar1 (ultra rapid cycler), Hypersomnolence and ADD in 93. After many attempts to remove myself from the medications, I now have resolved that it is definitely something that I need. I'm hoping that I can find some friends on this website that know what Im experiencing and can offer some support. People that know me are SHOCKED when they hear that I have struggles with depression. I guess I hide it very well as I think we all do around strangers. I have 2 kids one 9 and one 21 (21 yr old not at home) and 1 niece that lives with me. I may as well call her my daughter. Married 13yrs to a wonderful man who has stuck with me thru the rough times. We were USAF for 9yrs and that really made things rough on me. I went on and off my meds several times changing stations. Avoiding hospitalizations several times.

      From EvelynJean3 October 12

      Thanks so much Malice, and if you ever saw that we were no longer friends, please let me know because I'm very good at removing friends when I go to give them a hug. I have just recently removed HannaHana by doing that but noticed it and got her back as fast as I could. So sorry about your infection, but am happy that you are caught up on your school work.

      From EvelynJean3 October 12

      Good morning malice. You're right, it has been too long. You know what the funny thing is, I was thinking about you a lot yesterday and had to check to see if you removed me as a friend, or did I remove you by accident because I do that sometimes when I go to Give a Hug, I hit Remove Friend by mistake. I was so happy to see that we were still friends. I was going to send you a hug today, but you beat me to it. I have been hypo ever since Tues. and loving every minute of it until it messes with my sleep like it's been doing. How the heck are you doing?
