About Me
I am a SAHM of eight kids. My best friend told me about this site, and I thought I would check it out. I have severe bipolar disorder, ptsd, and anxiety disorder. I am trying to get, and KEEP it under control. It is a long hard journey. My goal is to change my way of thinking, but to do this I want to achieve one goal at a time to get there. I realize this is not an overnight process. I am trying to educate myself on this disorder, and on other ways to improve my overall self. I want to be happy with me, so that I can fully love and respect others.
Interests
Music, candle making, self improvement, quilting, gardening, family, husband, kids, ummm ok I am running out of interests..ok just thought of a few more, movies, writing, reading, and the paranormal.

I was able to get a refill on an older prescription that I have. It is helping me until I get into the psych Tuesday!

I wish I could add my playlist here, or at least have a song. It just doesnt feel right without one...

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I have bipolar 1 with psychosis, anxiety, and ptsd. I have many struggles with this, and struggles in treatment. Some struggles have been self inflicted some have not!
Treatments
- Abilify Not Working
- muscle spasms, and no noticeable behavior effects
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- If I took more then prescribed dosage, but we all know that is not recommended!
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- Worked great on getting me out of mania, but put me in a BAD depression!
- Lamictal Not Working
- broke me out in horrific rash
- Lithium Not Working
- ummm it is great if committing suicide is part of your treatment plan!
- Risperdal Not Working

- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- It worked great for six months and I loved it, but it caused me muscle spasms and had to quit taking it.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- I think an m&m would have been more productive!

I survived two domestic violence marriages, and still carry the emotional scars of it.
Treatments

Open Financial Challenges
We were doing ok, but still a relatively low income family. My husband had back surgery, and I am a SAHM. So he has been out of work for 4 months, and not recovering. I am trying to find a job, but it is slow.
Treatments
- Budgeting Somewhat Helpful

- Holding a Garage Sale Not Working
- I tried selling stuff on ebay very little sold, and when it did I spent more on shipping then I made.
Open Healthy Relationships
We just married in August of 07. Things are great, but we are a blended family. So I thought that I would try this group just to handle the little things, so that they dont turn into big things.
