Hi everyone, I joined this group a while ago but didn't say anything or really even look much... then top4aces started bugging me to post an introduction. Persistent, isn't he?
Anyway, here I am. My name is Jennifer. I came to DS because I was diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder, Anxiety Disorder NOS., and Personality Disorder NOS. (Histrionic and Antisocial traits). These aren't my only issues however, I am also a recovering sex(9 months sober) and video game(1.5 years clean) addict. I am a MtF transsexual as well, 3 years into my transition. I have been in recovery from my addictions for almost 2 years now, with over 2 years in personal development. I practice inner child work on a daily basis and am a totally different person than the one I was two years ago. I am a veteran of the US Navy, having served for 3 years before being discharged medically. I am also a full time college student.
Again, I am primarily here because of my Bipolar, Anxiety, and Histrionics. The rest is all generic background information that really doesn't mean a whole lot on this web site, as I am more worried about getting stable with all these new meds I am being put on. After I was diagnosed over a month ago my anxiety went through the freaking roof and I quickly was able to start getting care through the VA. However after being prescribed Klonopin I had a bad reaction and I became suicidally depressed. I was checked into the psychiatric ward for the first time in my life ON MY BIRTHDAY (that really sucked). After a week, and being taken off all benzos, I was discharged from the psych ward fairly stable for the first time in my life. Since then I have been much calmer, much more able to handle stress, and have just been struggling with balancing the side effects of my meds. Unfortunately I gained a good 10lb from the Risperdal I was on for a while, however now I am on Abilify so that should make a difference. Over all right now I am on Depakote, Buspirone, Abilify, and Cogentin. Including my estrogen and anti-androgen (estradiol and spironolactone) as well as the fish oil I take, I have to take a solid 14 pills per day. Eesh!
So yeah... hi everyone!
