Hi everyone
I'm freedomwarrior and I'm 19. Although I still have no formal diagnosis it is suspected I have been bipolar since tha age of 17. I am on a lot of meds, Tegretol, Zyprexa, and Risperdal and I am still struggling with depression. I havent had a truly manic episode for a while since I have been on the meds but I am very depressed at the moment. I hope to chat to someone x

I'm pretty new too. My first real experience with a computer. I think this is a great group of people and more fun than my usual numbing machine-the TV. But I do see why people can get hook. My family is already starting to complain. That what they get for moving me in to the computer age. Nice to have you.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
