You know, Rebecca, our lives are in God's hands. I don't understand why we suffer, some more than others, I am going to ask Him one day...when I work up the nerve. Can you imagine me having to work up nerve? Do you want me to write the Oprah show for you?

| Bipolar Disorder |
| I was diagnosed when I was 18 years old, in college for the first time. I became suicidal and wound up in a psy hospital for the very first time. I am now 41 years old and I have been in and out of hospitals too many times to remember. | |

| Lamictal (Working / Worked) Works great. | |
| Group Therapy (Working / Worked) I'm in a bipolar women's only group with 6 others. Best therapy I've ever had | |

| Depression |
| I have bi-polar disorder, with more episodes of depression. | |
| Treatments | |
| Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Not Working) I really couldn't get into this, just not my style. | |
| Cymbalta (Not Working) Didn't work for me. | |
| Effexor (Working / Worked) Best I've had in years. | |
| Elavil (Somewhat Helpful) Helps with my depression, but tends to go too much in the other direction. | |
| Electroconvulsive therapy (Working / Worked) Was extremely depressed and psychotic, so it worked. | |
| Geodon (Not Working) Found out I was allergic to this one. | |

| Psychotherapy (Working / Worked) Works wonders for me. | |
| Seroquel (Not Working) Was prescribed this for sleep, even at extreme doses didn't work. | |

| Wellbutrin (Somewhat Helpful) Worked for awhile, but lost its effect over time. | |
| Writing (Working / Worked) I've always hated putting my thoughts on paper, but have found it helps a lot when keeping a journal on-line. | |
| Watching TV (Working / Worked) Helps me to feel different emotions. Also keeps me company when nothing else will do. | |
| Vacation (Working / Worked) Even planning a vacation helps me feel better. The vacation itself is an added bonus. | |
