    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed after my husband died and I went manic. I have tried to kill myself so many times that I lost count. I go from happy do it all to cannot get out of bed. I am naughty in the fact that if I don't like the side effects of a medication, I stop it. Cold turkey. Very bad and I know this. I am not working now on SSDI due to anxiety and such and raising my children full time.
