I'm new and looking for a new bipolar message board home. I have bipolar 1 disorder with mixed episodes and hypomanias. But I mostly get stuck in the depressions.Just recently went through months and months of med combinations and I think we finally found the right stuff. Because it seems to be working pretty good for me so far. Finally after being in a depression since last winter. It was such a long time. I thought it would never happen that the right stuff would come along but it did. So there is hope for those of you that are still going through med changes. Remember that.

I currently take Trazadone, Lorazepam, Topamax, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Risperdal Consta and Seroquel. I've been diagnosed for 9 years and I'm 29 years old.

A little about me.. Im a cleaning lady and work 8 hours a week, Im on ssdi, I work at a cat shelter and love every minute of it, I love dogs and want to be a dog trainer and have my own business someday, and I'm on the internet every chance I get when Im home and love it A Lot.

Hope to get to meet some new faces here.

Hugs, Katie

I hope you will love it here as much as I do. It truly is my home away from home.
