- Hi, I am new to this. I am 5'3" currently at 184 and not liking it. My weight goes up and down like a yo-yo. Some small part is due to water retention: I take two diuretics. Mostly it is because I spend too much time sitting in my "escape"...
- Hello friends,I am Ayla 67, and I am in peri-menopause. I had my period on 3/3/15 and is lasted long enough to stain my panties. The period I had before that was 18 months before, and the one before that was another year before. I still get the...
- I first started having trouble going out in about 2008 or 09. I didn't want to leave the house. I attribute it to my bipolar: I easily get overwhelmed by stimulating environments. I have gotten somewhat better lately, but it has been a lot of...

- I know that therapy bright light is used on Seasonal affective disorder and I think also it might be used fro major depression, but has anybody heard of it being used for bipolar I or II for bipolar in any phase? I have the light, I was just...
- On August 19, my pain was under control and things were going swimmingly good. I wasn't getting pain higher than a 3. Right after that however, my pain started getting worse (I have inoperable tumors in and surrounding my intestine which are NOT...
- I am about to pay the bills for Mom again. She has me sign her name for her, and trusts me without even checking on me. I am not technically allowed to sign for her, which bothers me, I only have her oral permission.I have so many projects that I...
- I used to have the hardest time getting in the tub...It got so bad that once I got an open sore under my breast where my underwire bra hit me. It never got THAT bad again.I have occasionally been smelly. I always tried not to let it get that bad. I...
- 8/23 3:40 AMI am on 18 medications for everything from pain to bipolar to water pills. It all finally got just about balanced, and now I feel, well, on top of the world.I am going out to worship, getting organized (a little at a time) getting...

- I last wrote on the 3rd of August, and you all remarked that it was nice to hear positive news, so here is some more.Mom, who has hydrocephalus and a brain shunt, is doing so well in her occupational therapy that she will be dressing herself except...
- I know that exercise can relieve depression, but I am wondering, does scheduled exercise help to manage bipolar I on the up end, making it less severe or more manageable? My thinking here is that it might relieve some of the restlessness and pent-up...
- I am on a pain patch which has the narcotic fentanyl in it, it was just added back to my medicine regimen July 20th. The only problem with it is, the first day of the three days I wear each patch, I am manic enough that I don't sleep and a little...
- I'm Ayla and I have been bipolar officially for 28 years, (diagnosed at age 20) and probably started having symptoms at around age 10. I just always knew I was different than the other kids, what with the insomnia, the depressions, the alternating...
