is feeling Horrible
the worst of times
About Me
I am feeling great right now but can't figure out how to change the emoticon, or say that my first treatment is working. i am bipolar II rapid cycling with mixed states, treatment resistant. i am currently on disablity but like to write, paint, draw and make jewelry when i'm not ill. Also listening to music is a HUGE part of my life and a really important coping mechanism for me. sometimes when i feel like self-injuring i put on a song i love really loud and just belt out to it at the top of my lungs. Am currently trying to "become" a writer. It is what i've wanted ot do all of my life but after two courses of ect's (shock treatments) i lost the ability to write at all for several years. i am just getting it back within the past year, but still have trouble with spelling and basic grammar. I am an avid sci-fi/fantasy reader, and am working on a story in that genre. Also becoming interersted in physics and ancient history. MY GOAL IN LIFE IS TO PROVIDE HELP TO ANYONE IN NEED, AND TO SHARE ALL KINDS OF STUFF WITH ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE
Interests
Listening to music (sometimes gets me through the day when nothing else can). Writing, reading, drawing, painting, making jewelry, shooting baskets, following politics, talking constantly with friends an family.

Hey. That's okay. I'm dealing with it. It was about my cutting, which is a pain in the butt. I'm tools free, so which makes it harder to cut myself. Thanks for checking though. It's been really hard with myself and my family latly. All I'm asking is please keep me in your prayers because it's becoming harder to not to go into the kitchen and grab a knife.

Close Self-Injury
Started cutting at ten, burning in my twenties, for a whole lot of different reasons, mostly having to do with my BP. (I am thirty-seven now)I used to do at at least weekly, sometimes more. Now it has been almost a year since i cut, over four years since i burned. i have been struggling with it a lot lately, but have hope.
Treatments
- Invega Working / Worked
- My current treatment is successful meds for bipolar. I'm on several but the key ones are Invega (a new atypical anti-psychotic) & Adderall, a stimulant. They are working better than anything has for 20 years. I am going to start therapy, as this in combination with meds is the most successful regimin to prevent relapse. Have only self injured once since I started new meds. Also am starting hard workouts and it is helping. I am reclaiming my life and it is hard but wonderful.
