About Me
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 Disorder in 1992 when I was 26. I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I'm working on recovering from alcohol abuse. I also have many illnesses of the body. I just finished reading a Nora Roberts book Angels Fall but I mostly read techno thrillers like Michael Crighton or Steve Altman. I love to write about anything but mostly about dogs. If I was stable with medications I would write a children's book from doggies point of view. I take pictures of everything but am liking my super close ups of rocks and pebbles. When I'm hypomanic I make art out of wood, feathers, leather, paint, photos, bamboo, whatever is on hand.
Interests
My dog, reading, Jeeping, off road trips with friends, drinking beer. Photography, writing, arts and crafts, nature, the Arizona Desert and Mountains.

Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder on January of 1992 although I suspect I had if from birth. Now my official diagnosis is Bipolar Type 2 along with GAD, and massive stress problems. I also have many illnesses, diseases and physical conditions and the list keeps growing.
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Very good for anxiety, for slowing me down when I'm too 'high', and for quitting alcohol.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Good for depression and weight loss but made me sweat like crazy!
- Zyprexa Not Working
- I HATE drug! It made me gain 50 pounds in a matter of weeks!
- Fish Oil Too Soon to Tell
- I believe it helps mood my memory is better not sure about the right dose yet..
- Ambien Working / Worked
Close Tuberculosis (TB)
tb non contagious
Open Self-Injury
I first self injured at the age of 12 years old. I have Bipolar 2 Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and a few deadly illnesses.
Treatments
- Tattoos Considering
- I have a couple, would it help to get another? I wonder if my self injury abated after my last tat?
Open Hepatitis C
Diagnosed in 1999, HepC genotype 3. I've been a heavy drinker, just stopped. 7/21/08 just had my first not normal liver function test. Going back for more blood work for viral load. Viral load was in the thousands last year, wonder if it's in the millions now?
Treatments
- Milk Thistle Too Soon to Tell
Open Anxiety
I've had GAD for years now. I used to have bad Panic attacks. Now mostly anxiety. My pdoc won't prescribe anti anxiety meds for me so I get them elsewhere. I do not abuse them, in fact, I underuse them.
Treatments
- Atarax Not Working
- Not the right med for me. It triggers my Restless legs sydrome.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- It helps me alot, great if you're quiting beer!
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Works well but with alcohol it's a very, very bad combo!
- Paxil Working / Worked
- I think without the Paxil, I'd be a wreck. But beware of Paxil withdrawl before you go on this med!
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- I tell my bipolar anxiety ridden brain to shut up!
- Valium Working / Worked
- Too sedating, only good for severe emergencies for me.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- The best there is!
