    • About Me

      According to the Dr.'s I'm Bipolar and have social anxiety. Taking crazy meds, can't feel normal - but trying. I am going to stay positive and if anything try my hardest to stay in the manic phase not the depressed phase. I was born in England but live in Florida. That's about it - trying to stay sane in an insane world.

      art, literature, documentaries, (I am really a closet nerd - I guess the social anxiety thing leads you to more solitary things), but it is amazing how a little mania can bring out the wild partier in any girl.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My Dr. diagnosed me with Bipolar. What sucks is the depression part. I actually love the mania part, so to be honest I am scared the medicine will take the excitement away. But I also want the sadness away too.

      Treatments

      Ambien Working / Worked
      Gives me super wierd dreams
      Lamictal Not Working
      Made me angry
      Lithium Somewhat Helpful
      Haven't used in a long time - made me zombie like
      Topamax Too Soon to Tell
      On it now - not sure yet
      Valium Working / Worked
      Knocks me out
      Xanax Working / Worked

    • Close Anxiety

      Besides Bipolar, I have major social anxiety. Unless I am loaded or in a manic phase of my bipolar disorder it is really hard for me to go out and be social. On top of that I get very bad blushing on my whole face and chest if I am put on the spot for example, at work in an office meeting if the boss asks me a question in front of anyone this happens to me. Or if I go to see a Dr. or a job interview etc. It is crippling.

      Treatments

      Ativan Not Working
      Tried before - knocked me out
      Breathwork Somewhat Helpful
      Deep breathing always helps me somewhat
      Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
      Currently taking - too soon to know
