    About Me

    Firstly, I am a child of the most high God. I am a Jesus loving woman, he is my Lord and Savior. Every day that I walk with the Lord is a day walked in the right direction. If you would like to walk with Christ or learn more about him send me an email! I'm in my early thirties and I was diagnosed with BP NOS in 2002 along with being a Compulsive Overeater/Binge Eater. I really didn't get that I was ill with BP until I was first hospitalized in 2006. Not being able to work anymore has been quite an adjustment but I think I'm starting to come around the corner on that. I just got married in the end of May. My favorite color is pink. My favorite past time is diddling around on the computer. My new hobby is scrapbooking and organizing wedding pictures. I also love to bargain shop at Value Village and Good Will--there's nothing better than getting a marvelous dress for 4.99$ or a shirt for 2.99$. I love to shop for clothes now that I can wear "regular" sizes so bargain shopping has become really fun for me! I'm all about God, recovery and staying at baseline. Blessings to you!

      Hey sweetie, Im still praying for you also everyday. Thank you for all of your prayers. Please let me know also if theres anything specific that you need me to pray for you about. With me, Im still extremely dizzy, problems with pain in my ears, neck and head from accident, just found out I have cateracts and elevated cholestrol. Also, please pray that my 2 kids...one is 24 and the other is 22 will be saved. That one is the most important one. Take care of yourself and know that I care so much about you. Hugs...Julie

      Compulsive Overeater/Binge Eater/Bulimic

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      BPII w/psychotic symptoms. I also take Clonazepam for Anxiety and Panic Attacks. And Psychotherapy: CBT if I can learn to apply it I think it will help. (Wouldn't let me add it below for some reason)

      Treatments

      Geodon Working / Worked
      Positive reaction. Helpful with reducing rapid cycling and psychotic symptoms.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Has reduced rapid cycling. Not sure how much it helps with the actual depression though. I'm still pretty non-functional in a lot of ways.
      Clonazepam Working / Worked
      Works fairly well on daily maintenance of panic attacks. The panic attacks really only kick into gear during hypomanic phases now or mixed episodes.
    • Open Healthy Eating

      Learning to eat healthy.

    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I've just been diagnosed with PTSD. I'm not even sure what it means for me yet.

    • Open Sleep Apnea

      Just recently diagnosed with Significant Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

      Treatments

      CPAP Working / Worked
      Working although it is still new and the last two masks I had caused lesions on my nose. So now I'm trying a new mask. I can definitly tell I'm having fatigue after missing a few days of sleeping with the CPAP.
      Lose Weight Not Working
      Lost 125 pounds when I was diagnosed with Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome then about a year later took the sleep test again and it had progressed.
