Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed with bipolar shortly after my 18th birthday. I am 24 now and it has been a long, hard road. Having bipolar has totally changed my life. I have ruined alot of friendships, alot of relationships and have been addicted to everything from drugs to sex. I still am addicted to several things. I am just looking for help. I just want things to change.

4 years ago I was held hostage by a guy I met from a friend. For 3 days he repeatedly raped, sodomized, and beat me. 4 years later I am still dealing with the effects of what happened.
Treatments

- I saw a rape counselor a little over a year after the incident. I only saw her for a short while but she was wonderful.
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I never really noticed the OCD tendencies until I was pregnant with my second child. I noticed that I was washing my hands often and that I was counting numbers in my head all day long and also that I would have to check all the doors and windows over and over to make sure they were locked. Just when I think I'm getting better, I realize I'm not. It sucks.
