About Me
Suffering bi-polar with emphasis on depression. I am married with 2 children - girl 14, boy 8. My condition puts a lot of stress on my family and it is difficult to talk openly with them since they don't understand. I forgot to mention that I also have diagnosis of chronic pain syndrome (back and neck), ADD and PTSD.
Interests
Reading, gardening and family

Prayer
pray that God will lead my heart in the right direction , For right know I want to leave my husband and we are just living on what I get from SSI and Im afraid that we will loose the house cause of the taxes are really high here and my husband is not working and I cant stand seeing him home all day and being lazy and not wanting to do anything. I have to just about complain at him to do things that I cannot due cause of my health. I need extra money so I can start looking for a place to live and to get out and really think of what I really want to do with my life. THANK YOU AGAIN roni

Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed as bi-polar when I was 30. The condition puts a great deal of stress on my husband and children. I have a lot of difficulty talking with them frankly of the condition because they don't really understand. I don't always understand what's going on with me, and I am always afraid. I never know from one day to the next what persona I will be, or how I will treat my loved ones. I just want to feel normal.
Treatments

- The dosage prescribed didn't help so, we threw that one away too.

Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I have had numerous encounters that have contributed to my PTSD. The last straw was being beaten and stalked in 1995. I am also bi-polar so most of my treatment centers around that illness.

Open Back Pain
I injured my back in 1992, resulting in a double laminectomy at L4-5, L5-S1. I re-injured it in a car accident in 1995, along with sustaining 3 compressed discs in my neck - causing loss to the ladortic (sp?) curve. I had to have a second surgery, single level discectomy in 1999 due to weight gain during pregnancy. I have suffered with chronic pain as a result of these injuries for the past 17 years.
