    About Me

    I am a Christian, was diagnosed with Bipolar when I was 19. I cycle sometimes a couple of times a day. Use to be within the hour before meds. My manic cycles are not as high or long on meds. I seem to have more depression now. I use to be successful at my job and can't handle it anymore-I shut down, can't function, return calls, concentrate. I am in search of a new career.

    Interests

    I have a horse-showjumping. A rottweiler and 2 african grey parrots. My animals are like my kids to me. They can put a smile on my face even when I am in complete despair.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I rapid cycle, nothing ever works long enough-going crazy trying to seperate the illness from who I am. Where does it stop and I begin or vice versa.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
      Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
      I used to be on it and made me too manic, now we are putting me on it again because my depression has been out of control, in smaller dosage.
      Lithium Not Working
      made me majorly dizzy
    • Close Alcoholism

      I am going through a divorce because of my husband's drinking.

    • Open Anxiety

      My major anxiety source is work, I shut down, can't look at a file, can't make a phone call scared to even check my voice mails. I have HUGE anxiety about confrontation-HATE IT!!! Any form. Also m finances=anxiety
