    About Me

    Dealing with bipolar and addiction has created many problems in my life. I was using drugs to cover up how miserable I was. It so didn't work. I overdosed and had to go inpatient for a week and then to iop for a month. It honestly saved my life. I did have a couple slip ups with staying sober, but nothing major. I have no desire to mess my life up with that crap again. I'm so much happier and actually enjoy living life. I never thought it was possible. Besides that, I'm fun, spontanious, outgoing, talkative, caring, and open minded. I'm also a major drama queen, but I'm working on that.haha
