    • About Me

      I have a degree in Graphic Design that I practiced for about 6 years. Currently I am able to stay at home with my daughter, who is 6. Will probably try to find a job when she goes to school full time, but for now I will enjoy the time I get to spend with her.

      I know...I'm a journal slacker! I just always feel like I'm whining and complaining so I hate to do it. It would probably be good for me so I might just do that! :)

      Thank you so much for the reply. You are very sweet. I'm sorry that you can relate! I love your pics. Your daughter is just a cutie pie! My mom lives in Park City, MT so she updates me on the weather there. I don't know how you guys do it! Thanks again for the kind reply. I really appreciate it :)

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My birth mother comitted suicide when I was 13 months old. I had a few incidents in my pre-teen years that probably still affect me now as a 30 year old. (abuse and such) I was finally diagnosed bipolar when I was 27 and started on medications, but it had already wrecked havoc on my life and ruined my marriage. Now I am just trying to pick up the pieces.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      Made me feel like I was crawling out of my skin, totally restless. Horrible!!
      Ambien Working / Worked
      Ambien works great. I feel I'm becoming addicted. I've taken it for about 4 months straight now. It can make you do weird things and then you wake up the next morning not remembering what the heck happened. But I sleep very well on it.
      Depakote Not Working
      Didn't work for me. And it made me gain a ton of weight.
      Lamictal Not Working
      Loved it!! BUT, I found out I was allergic to it by getting the "rash"
      Lithium Working / Worked
      Worked in the past, but had major weightgain so I decided to try other options.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      I am not sure it is working. I have slowly tapered up to a dose of 400 mg. per day and now I'm just waiting to see some good results.
    • Close Parenting Big Kids (5-8)
