About Me
I have been BP for a long time and did spend several years off meds. I am currently working on "coming into my own" and trying to gain some insight and a better understanding of myself. I have been lost for so long that I don't know really where to begin.
Interests
yoga, hiking, gardening, camping, sitting by the river, thinking, music.

I’m With You
Motivation and health on the agenda here too! Yes, it's crazy how life can change in a year - a perfect example is our daughters...they grow up too fast - especially when we aren't able to enjoy every minute because of this damn BP. I hope things stay on the steady upper side for you!! Miss ya! xoxo, M.
I’m With You
I had the burning eyes really bad last night! I never thought it could be from having bipolar. Does anything help for yours? Nothing helps mine except shutting them!
Hug
Hang in there hun. There is hope for people like us. As long as we make the effort, we can take control of our lives again. Best wishes.

Wish you well too. It does suck not even being able to buy decent groceries to make decent meals with the prices so high. Only going to get worse with all the floods, now the wests fires and droughts and god knows what else. Last year same time as now i would still have money in the bank when next paycheck came in...now I have pennies if I am lucky. My interent and phone are in a bundle so it isn't terribly high and at least I can sit here and do something without it costing anything except my time. Which I have wasted too much today, gotta do dishes and laundry. Thanks for the reply...hope the weather up there is good...cooled off here today and the smoke from the fires has cleared again...till next high system comes back. At least that cheers me up

Close Bipolar Disorder
A BP diagnosis was given to me in 2002 when I was 24. I wasn't very vigilant about taking my meds, and, subsequently spent many years off of them. I am now fully medicated. And although I feel like a dull and vacant version of my former self a lot of the time- I know better than to stop taking the pills.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- was recently taken off this med. too soon to tell whether or not that was a good idea.
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- Helps with my extreme anxiety.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- 300 mg. I think I'm finally at a good place with this med. Mood swings not as acute. It dulls my sharp edges.
