About Me
I have been BP since Puberty but not not Dxed until the age of 37. It progressively got worse especially after having children. What can I say about me, I am laid back, march to the beat of a different drum, defend the under dog and consider myself a great friend. I love education and received as much as I could afford (my Masters degree cost a fortune) and now I work in Education as a School Counselor. Decided to take up a love of mine Photography and have been shooting maternity and baby photos. I have a wedding coming up in Aug. Can't wait!
Interests
Hiking, camping, site seeing, traveling, scrap booking and photography---Avid internet surfer and love shopping!

Thank you! I have been sooo busy. Guess what? I stopped taking my depression meds about two weeks ago and I feel better! Less anxiety for sure. Very strange. I love my religion class as it's so interesting. I'm not to involved in religion so I have an open mind. The Hindu and Buddist religions are especially interesting. I have one daughter Alex who is in 6th grade. How are you doing?

xx I hope things are going well for you...

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Married 12 years, 2 small children ages 7 and 11. It was during my marriage I was dx BP after many years of living with the highs and lows . Had marriage trouble after having an affair in a mania. Managed to get through it by the Grace of God. Still married but was a tough lesson and hard on the marriage. Pdoc stated there is a spectrum of BP and on a scale of 1-10, 10 being worse, he told me I am about a 3. New Pdoc stated BP 1 and enough symptoms that it has caused issues all my life.
Treatments
Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Not been diagnosed but have had the symptoms since I was about 9 y.o. It got worse after I had kids and as I get older trying to control it with food changes, wheat is a killer for me as well as most carbs like bread. Tortillas and white rice are ok other than that my menu is very limited! Hoping to learn more and get well.
