About Me
I'm a 21 year old bipolar NY transplant living in Richmond, VA. I don't really like "About Me" boxes because I think it's better to get to know the person by talking to them and asking questions. So please feel free to contact me and we'll learn some things about each other.
Interests
Writing and playing music, movies, reading, blogging, poetry, computers, meeting new people, hanging out with friends

You said in your "About Me" to feel free to get to know you. I was looking at your profile and saw similar descriptions of my disorders. The anxiety attacks sound familiar. That is how I lost my career due to an anxiety attack. I am also bipolar and ADHD-plus a few others. I'd love to get to know you better and see what treatments have worked for you. Tamara
Hug
I was scrolling through my friends, and realized that I haven't been a very good one to you, have I? I'm sorry that things are so rough, right now. I'd like to say I have a ton of wisdom for you, but I just plain don't. I hope you move forward with your life, and allow the true grief of losing your boyfriend to start to dim, a bit. I also hope that as spring has arrived with more sunshine, it helps you have some happy days. hugs, baggy

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I've been diagnosed Bipolar II since May 2007. I have rapid cycling episodes and I can be extremely unstable sometimes. I'm currently working without insurance, so my meds are $180 a week.
Treatments
- Celexa Not Working
- Too bad sexual side effects.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- It seems to balance me out, I might need to up my dose, though.
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- It seems to be working.
- Seroquel Not Working
- It made me psychotic.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- It was time for a mood stabilizer.
Close Anxiety
In addition to Bipolar II, I have issues with anxiety. I get overwhelmed extremely easily and I can have attacks where I cry hysterically, shake, can't breath, and have tightness in my chest.
Treatments
- Ativan Not Working
- No noticeable effects
- Klonopin Not Working
- Made me manic.
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- I know how I SHOULD be thinking, I just can't get my brain to think that way.
- Valium Working / Worked
- Worked, I just ran out and never went back to that doctor.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Works wonders!
- Zoloft Not Working
- Sexual side effects were too bad.
Open ADHD / ADD
I have a lot of problems, and ADHD is just one of them. I'm also dealing with Bipolar II and anxiety issues.
Treatments
- Adderall Working / Worked
- It helps me concentrate, but sometimes I can become a zombie and lose my train of thought. Being Bipolar II, it has a tendency to increase my anxiety and induce hypomania.
- Research Working / Worked
- The more I know about ADHD, the easier it is to overcome it.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I didn't notice any improvement.
Open Bisexuality
I've known since I was 16, been out to everyone since 20. I have a boyfriend of 2 1/2 years.
