    About Me

    Mum of one, dealing with bipolar II. Have been misdiagnosed from age of 16 with unipolar depression, finally being correctly diagnosed in Jun 2008. (So that's only 18 years then)! Spend most of my time in clinical depression, (with occasional hypomania) and have problems with not being able to control my moods (irritability, anger, rage and crying).

    Interests

    TV, reading, sleeping. Anything Harry Potter. I am in love with Alan Rickman, especially when he dresses up as sexy Severus Snape for me! What a MAN!! XX
