About Me
iam 33, bipolar, also recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. ON 12/9/07 just survived Pulmonary Emboli within minutes since I live so far away from a hospital. I am currently taking lamictal, clonazapem, adderall, coumadin, lexapro. 1/28/08 I was just given notice from my bossess to take a month off? Why didn't they do that when I got out of the hospital? All of theses side effects are overwhelming. I also don't have insurance. Now as of March 3rd, after being 5 days back at work I was fired....
Interests
Kayaking, walking the snow covered beaches with my puppy, I am a volunteer firefighter which I am now very limited in what I can do, all I can do is drive the truck, direct traffic... I love people, love challenges, and would love to have a job, in the mean time I am attempting to make curtains from 3 worth of material I purchased since I am BROKE, I wish Wisconsin had a better health care system. I spend $475 a month just on medication, my mortgage is $1400. Not sure what to do!
