    About Me

    Diagnosed Bipolar1 (ultra rapid cycler), Hypersomnolence and ADD in 93. After many attempts to remove myself from the medications, I now have resolved that it is definitely something that I need. I'm hoping that I can find some friends on this website that know what Im experiencing and can offer some support. People that know me are SHOCKED when they hear that I have struggles with depression. I guess I hide it very well as I think we all do around strangers. I have 2 kids one 9 and one 20 (20 yr old not at home) and 1 niece that lives with me. Married 13yrs to a wonderful man who has stuck with me thru the rough times. We were USAF for 9yrs and that really made things rough on me. I went on and off my meds several times changing stations. Avoiding hospitalizations several times.

    Interests

    I have 2 kids 9 and 20 (20 yr old not at home) and 1 niece that lives with me. Everything I do revolves around my family. My husband is in school. Otherwise the only other interest I have is to shop. That is my time alone!! lol!!!
