    I am here to help people and get support myself. Back in January I started having issues. The challenges I face now are an opportunity for personal growth and to help others. I might have BipolarII. Good luck to anyone dealing with a mental illness.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Back in January I started having serious anxiety about losing loved ones. This turned into depression. At times I felt I was barely alive. However dancing helped relieve some of the symptoms of depression. Also bowling helped. It took my mind off my problems.

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working
      I had a dry mouth. Also I would only get two hours of sleep but be full of energy. My doctor told me to stop the treatment.
      Zoloft Not Working
      Had suicidal thoughts while on this drug. Doctor told me to stop taking it.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Might have Bipolar 2. The diagnosis is iffy though.

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      To soon to tell. Seems to be doing nothing at the moment.
