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.

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...
