Close Bipolar Disorder
Diagnosed 1993. Pretty stable now. Still feel like I don't belong here.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Suffered from severe depression from teen years. No relief until 2007. Tried many antidepresants from 1993-2007. Have been on Cymbalta 1 year and it has decreased my depression significantly.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- Started Litium August 1993. Moderated manic phases well. No major side effects.
- Marijuana Working / Worked
- Pot was the only substance that enabled me to survive the depression prior to being diagnosed and treated. No longer use it.
Close Single Dads
I'm 53 with 14 yr old son who has lived in another state since he was 1 yo. See him every other weekend and holiday and a week or 2 over the summer. Precious little. He's the greatest kid a dad could wish for. I feel I'm missing what little bit of his life I do have him. Not sure I can change that. Work hard at keeping my BP from rearing it's ugly head.
