About Me
Diagnosed 1 year ago with Bipolar Disorder. I stopped working 2 years ago and am on disability. Life is getting better since I was diagnosed and I have a daily plan to keep myself well. Just started Lamictal a week ago (June) and I hope it keeps me at an even keel. I am into a loving God and spirituality. I have been single for 8 years after 2 divorces. I am glad to have had these years to grow and mature and I am hoping to meet someone eventually.
Interests
Literati, a comp game like scrabble , food , cooking shows , how to stay well , my grown kids and grandchildren, reader's digest, real estate and home reno.I also like to walk and bike ride.
