    About Me

    I'm at the moment working in property maintenance, I'm trying to teach myself web design as a means to move on and free up time for my passion; music, I produce podcast radio shows when I can, done about 5 now and am trying to progress, also DJ a little for confidence.

    Interests

    Music is my salvation, I play guitar, DJ and write and record at home when I can (never finish anything, nothings ever good enough).I love film as long as it's challenging, have no concentration span. I also enjoy cycling, helps clear the head and always look to head off road for some peace.

    • Close Depression

      I was diagnosed with bipolar as a teenager, took lithium for a while but stopped. have been self medicating with clonazepam and alcohol since.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working
      Unless you can afford private counselling, you tend to get people straight out of college and they don't seem to know how to make you relax and open up
      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      Found that it helped at times, but would also cause sudden intense feelings of anxiety and paranoia
      Clonazepam Somewhat Helpful
      Works for a while, but like any addictive benzodiazapines the quantities increase and the effect decfreases
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working
      might have helped at times but sent me of into a panic sometimes
      Lithium Somewhat Helpful
      Not sure, was given other meds at the same time
    • Open Alcoholism

      Grew up in the UK in pubs and bars, began drinking in my early teens. sort of controlled it in my mid twenties, but have beeen slipping back into it lately.

      Treatments

      Antabuse Working / Worked
      As long as I took it, even then I found I could drink it out of my system, even though it was'nt pleasant.
      Librium Working / Worked
      Helped me the first time I gave up.
      Willpower Not Working
      Too many mood swings
    • Open Heroin Addiction & Recovery

      Started smoking it not long after first giving up klonopin,generally smoked, injected ocassionaly,but watched someone convulse and die from cotton fever(never injected again)realised it was taking control fairly early fortunately and only suffered relatively minor withdrawl compared to some people I had met.

      Treatments

      Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
      Kept me sedated for 4 days, don't really know what happened, but was able to cut all ties with dealers and other users and have not touched it since.
