    About Me

    I have bipolar 2 disorder, but it is pretty much under control right now. I have some slight depression and anxiety that the meds don't seem to help. I'm a recovered alcoholic, 29 yrs sober. I'm a christian, have been for many years. I'm separated from my husband of 28 yrs and hope to get a divorce soon. I have 2 grown sons.

    Interests

    I have 1 cat named Lucy, and a chocolate Lab named Duke. I love animals and am in school now training to become a vet tech. I can't wait to work with animals. I like to watch TV and movies, and read some. I journal and do devotions just about everyday and have found it really helps keep me grounded.

      From mittens43 Tuesday

      I can relate and understand where you are coming from, there is nothing like having a friend face to face, I just went back to a Peer Support Group that is held on Thursday Nights where I live here in NH. I have known the Leader and His wife for 7 years now, I have been away for 2 years and it feels like I have not been away from them that long. new people though and I have connected with a couple of women around my age and shared e-amails with them and been e-amiling to them back and forth. And this is a Very good thing. So I do Hope You find Something soon. Take care.
