I'm a mother of two little boys (3 and 5), live near the ocean, married for six years, and I have a dog (Jack Russell Terrier) and two birds. I have rapid-cycling BP II diagnosed in November of last year. I am a sympathetic listener, dedicated to my friends, sometimes I'm a procrastinator and othertimes I finish before the sentence is done. I'm outgoing and at times quite shy. I'm gentle but edgy and I like nothing more than new adventures! I like to think I have a good sense of humor and don't offend easily. I am always accepting of new friends who just wanna talk. *Linnea* (for those of you who don't know the name: Lynn-A-uh..it's a swedish flower)
I enjoy helping others (worked in human and social services for 8 years)and I work as an ILST for individuals with traumatic brain injuries. I also enjoy art, antiques, animals, music, baseball (Go Yanks!), drama movies, classic cars, drawing and painting, walking the dog at the beach, adventuring, going out to eat, reading, gardening, and nature.

I recently had a nervous breakdown in November of 07. Having had a long history of major depression, that was the diagnosis that was expected. This time they told me it was Bipolar Disorder. Confirmed by two other doctors and I'm still very new to it. I hope to learn as much as I can about how the illness fits into my life and ways to cope with my symptoms.

Extremely sensitive to the season changes. Become very depressed throughout the winter and once spring rolls around, mood improves. Also affected by the weather, rainy = miserable!
Daily sufferer of anxiety.
