    About Me

    I just want to look fine on the outside, so no one knows what is so wrong with the inside. I feel like I have too many emotions and I can feel everyones pain and sadness. It makes me have a lot of empathy, but it also weighs me down. I am tired of taking meds but I know that I need them. I have been married for 2 years. I would give anything to have a little daughter.

    Interests

    Im interested in chocolate, sex and shopping. (not in that order) Also, my husband, family and friends. And I like to read.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I'm 28 and I have been medicated since I was 15. What started out as sleeping problems and depression, changed into a diagnosis of bipolar when I was 17, after a hospitalization. The best way to describe me, I think, is that I was born with too many emotions. I feel WAY too much and it can't fit inside me. I guess I feel like I have extreme PMS all the time. Luckily I have a very caring and supportive husband, however other then him, I have no other real support.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      Too strong for me? I felt drugged and like a zombie.
      Ativan Working / Worked
      I take it every night. I am scared for the time when I have to give it up.
      Depakote Not Working
      The only drug that made me gain weight. Felt out of touch with reality.
      Group Therapy Not Working
      It makes me feel worse about things.
      Holistic Health Considering
      If anyone has info on this, I am interested but dont know where to begin...
      Lamictal Too Soon to Tell
      I have been on 100mg for over a year. I am going to try and increase the dose for more antidep. effects. Hopefully no rash. When I increased before, I had a mild one.
      Seroquel Too Soon to Tell
      Made me very groggy but I wasn't using it consistently. I am too scared to use it more.
      Tegretol Not Working
      Headaches!
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Taking a low dose now. This is a good one for me. Not too strong.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Have been on it for years. The only antidepressant that doesnt make me more irratible.
    • Close Eating Disorders

      Eating disorder unspecified or whatever they call it. I think I just have issues with control and food. I used to binge alot. Then I started the purging thing once in awhile. Now I pretty much have it under control (not puking at least) but any little thing can set off the feeling of wanting to binge. It is definetly related to emotions and stress.

      Treatments

      Topamax Somewhat Helpful
      I take a low dose of this, but for Bipolar disorder.
