    About Me

    I'm a real estate broker diagnosed w/ BP a few months ago after a manic episode. I am trying to take back my life by putting all the things that are important into perspective. I have flare-ups when I'm under stress. I now find myself in a big new city trying to make it on my own. I am attempting to stay healthy through meds, exercise, and therapy.

    Interests

    I am kind of eclectic. I like to watch sports, take long hikes, listen to music, read poetry and books, spend time w/ friends, watch t.v., and especially spend time w/ my daughter.

      I was recently diagnosised w/ Bipolar disorder a little less than a year ago. I am trying to educate myself to the symptoms and how to deal w/ the disease on a day to day basis.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      Walking Working / Worked
      Works well when I have that restless manic feeling. I am up to 8 miles a day. Also helps me sleep.
