About Me
I was diagnosed bipolar (type 1, I think) ten years ago after I turned 18, my freshman year of college. I have tried a lot of different medications and have had to be hospitalized a few times over the years, so I never really finished school. I am currently working part time in retail and receiving SSD. I would really like to go back to school so I can finish my education and get a better job, but its been hard for me to focus ever since I have started having manic depressive symptoms. I am lucky to finally have a great stable relationship.
Interests
I love getting dressed up to go dancing, but when I'm depressed I don't really do it any more. I like art, music, writing, and other creative things, but when I'm depressed I don't feel that creative. Hopefully other people know what I mean.
