About Me
I am married with a supportive husband, a teenage son, and two dogs. I don't like being manic, I become uncontrollable. I am 42 and have lived with undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder for most of my adult life, it's been very hard.
Interests
I am trying to steer myself back to finding my interests. The constant rapid thoughts in my head have slowed down a bit but have been slightly replaced with a ringing in my ears. In my stable moments I love: Art, music, old movies, taking hikes in the desert where I live, hanging out with my family, reading a good book (when I can concentrate).

Close Bipolar Disorder
I have just begun treatment for being bipolar. I am taking Depakote and Welbutrin. I have stabilized quite a bit from when I first joined Daily Strength....but recognize the insidious nature of being Bipolar: it always seems to be lying in wait i.e. Just when you think you are feeling better, getting better, it hits!
Treatments
- Depakote Working / Worked
- It's working, but Oh Boy I think it is slowly starting to make me gain weight!! I am having memory and tremor issues, but my sleep sked is better. I am keeping a close eye on my food intake.
- Holistic Health Too Soon to Tell
- I am going to slowly add some holistics to my medicine cocktail. Hopefully melatonin will help me sleep and others (like Omega-3) will help with my mental balance. Hey, these "drugs" were around before pills, I took them a long time ago and they did help!
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- The side effects are better than the actual effects, it has just about killed my cravings for tobacco but I am still having bouts of breakhrough depression.
