About Me
I'm Melissa, Mel for short. A friend of mine told me about the site so I joined. I know I'm not alone and hundreds of thousands suffer silently, not wanting to be labeled in a negative way. Being able to live from day to day can be difficult i.e. stressful career, single parent and growing son. Being dx with BP II is the straw that broke the camels back. I am the camel. I was accepting of being dx with depression but in denial when it was changed to BP. I wouldn't even let my Dr. say the word. She just loves me.
Interests
My son, music, reading, motorcycles, the beach, animals, baking, watching sports and learning all I can on the history and future of my disease.
