    About Me

    BP, Anxiety & PTSD Hey all! I'm 42, happily divorced for 11 yrs. I have one wonderful beauty of a daughter (20). She's my angel girl. I have a wonderful intelligent beautiful loving boyfriend. Other than God, he is my rock! I love reality, honesty and truth in all shapes, forms and colors. (yea, kaleidoscopes are kinda groovy).... lol ....Otherwise, we are all weighed down- unhappy and not drinking up this beautiful, glorious experience from the biggest most gigantic sparkly pimp cup of all.. LIFE! And your name is on it:) Though we are all so very unique individually and our journeys may differ, I believe we are all very much still the same.

    Interests

    Theosophical Society, writing, drawing, painting, reading, outdoors- especially by water. Passion for social and special interest groups, volunteer

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Suffered silent despair w/ depression as a teenager due to abandonment, various types of abuse, death of my brother. Started secretly cutting in my mid 20s. Stopped that after my meds got right. Diagnosed w/ bipolar, anxiety & PTSD in my early 30s after suicide attempt which left me in intensive care for 8 days. 2 stays in rehab for alcohol due to self medicating for severe insomnia & anxiety. Was doing well and am drinking again and getting help.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      The best anti-depressant I have ever been on. Combats suicidal thoughts for me and helps with dark painful moods.
      Equetro Working / Worked
      Working great for me. Lithium made me feel numb and/or dead. I don't have that feeling with this.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Too soon to tell.
      Lithium Working / Worked
      Helped mania but I felt like a zombie. I discontinued.

    • Open Alcoholism

      Been to rehab for alcoholism twice. I have a hard time latching onto AA. I still have trouble passing up a drink. Have had long periods of sobriety and then I slip and go into denial. Have been in denial off and on for years.

      Treatments

      12 Step Program Somewhat Helpful
      I have not been successful.
      AA Meetings Somewhat Helpful
      Has helped many times. I can't stand having a Sponsor. It annoys me to have a sponsor tell me what to do.

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      Detox Working / Worked
      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      Librium Working / Worked
