    About Me

    29 years old, working in real estate with my partner James. Also studying towards my BA in Anthropology, with the hope to eventually gain my phd. My partner has bipolar and at times I really struggle with how to deal with his rapid cycling. I also have endometriosis, which was recently diagnosed. At times it leaves me extremely exhausted and feeling run down. I\'m basically just looking for some sort of support in certain areas of my life, when I need it the most.

    Interests

    Reading, Writing, Anthropology, Forensics, Rugby, Netball, Tennis

      Hi, I just replied to your post in spouses of bipolar & realised that you're here in little old NZ too! Make the most of the system, we're so lucky to have free hospital care & subsidised meds.

  • Support Groups

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My partner has bipolar. I struggle at times to cope with his ups and downs. I just really need support from people who understand, and can help me through the bad days.

    • Close Endometriosis

      I was officially diagnosed with Endometriosis a couple of months ago. I have been trying for years to get someone to listen to me that something was wrong with me, as I've always known it. My mother was diagnosed with Endometriosis about 4 years ago when she had a hysterectomy, which further confirmed in my mind that was what was wrong with me. Finally action is being taken to treat me.

      Treatments

      Zoladex Considering
      My gyno wants me to try this for a 6 month period. Just waiting for funding to be approved.
    • Open Epilepsy & Seizures

      I started having Seizures Dec 03 and was diagnosed the following March (at age 25) with Simple Partial Seizures. My 7 year old brother also has epilepsy, grand mal.

      Treatments

      Tegretol Working / Worked
      Worked just fine. Stopped taking it about a month ago to see how my epilepsy was. Had my first seizure in almost a year, 2 weeks ago. None since then.
