    About Me

    I am 39 years young. I have four kids, amanda 18 jonathan 16 jessica 15 and andrew 11. They obviously keep me busy. I have BP1 and am a rapid cycler, but i tend to stay on the depressed side of the pole more than not. I live in a small town. We don't even have a stop light! I love to write poetry and I am working on a book about my husband and how he died two years ago. I hate being a widow and am very lonely. I feel cheated by God for taking him away from me...May 31st would have made 20 years we were married. I am a good person with a big heart but I am easily taken advantage of. I am an isolator, so if you don't hear from me for a while...i am usually in a crisis. I love DS and the friends i have made here. So thats about it.

    Interests

    writing poetry trying to write a book but with rapid cycling it is really hard. i love my dog JUJU and honestly have no life other than being a mom.

I am now disabled, widowed, lonely and unmedicatedfor a few months, ended up in the hospital in october this year ...i am slipping...dying...the cycling is killing me most of all. Hopefully i will stabalize before i mess that up to. but now...i found you guys! lifes not so bad :)

      Treatments

      Abilify Too Soon to Tell
      it doesnt make me feel any better so far
      Ativan Working / Worked
      this was a nice quick fix for my anxiety, but I have overdosed so many times they wont give it to me anymore unless i am in the hospital
      Celexa Not Working
      didnt work and doc. took me off it
      Depakote Working / Worked
      this worked well on my moods for the most part but I had to come off of it due to terrible tremors
      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      when i am properly medicated, otherwise its to much to take in
      Geodon Working / Worked
      was helpful, but taken off after a few months by doc.
      Group Therapy Considering
      i tend to shut down when i am talking about me, but do well helping others
      Haldol Working / Worked
      was on this for about a year, then off...then put back on and had a horrible side effect and ended up in the er with annophaloctic shock...not good for me!
      Lamictal Too Soon to Tell
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      but I hate the weight gain
      Tegretol Too Soon to Tell
      Thorazine Somewhat Helpful
      potent and knocks me out if i take with sleep meds
      Trileptal Working / Worked
      this is the one drug that stabalizes my moods but i can no longer afford it :(
