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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
