    About Me

    I am a 23 yr. old wife, mother, nurse, and photographer. I have been married for 6 years and my sone is 2 1/2. I had a full plate....then I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Severe Anxiety, and PTSD. I have delt with the anger, rage, and emotional roller coaster my whole life. I was in foster care simply because my parents didn't want me. I was in the system for a total of 4 years...that was the longest four years of my life...I have never delt with the emotions that all of this brought. I just bottled it up like everything else. Now, I am not doing to well coping with all of this. I haven't even had the courage to tell anyone other than my husband and mother in law about my diagnosis. I am just not ready to face the possible rejection. I have very few friends simply because I don't let people get close to me. I shut them out, or fight with them just so they will go away. I know that sounds bad, but it's the truth.

    Interests

    My son, scrapbooking, walking (during mood swings), researching anything in the medical field

  • Support Groups

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Abandonment Disorder, and PTSD in Feb. 2007. I haven't told my family/friends so I was hoping to get a little support from you guys until I can face my fear of telling someone. I absolutely love photography. I would love to attend college for it, but there isn't a school like that around here. I enjoy spending time with my two year old...he is a hoot!
