A little about me: My name is Melissa and I'm 36. I was diagnoses as bipolar II about 3 years ago. I think I've had this disorder since I was my adolescent years because I would have periods of depression and mania. I always knew the depression part but didn't understand the mania episodes since I was so young. While in a verbally absusive relation I started to have alot of emotion I've never had and to add to I was Using meth. After trying to function at new Streesful job, stree from the boyfriend, and my substance abuse I walk out and quite my job 3 day before my last day there before I started my new job. That is somethig I would thought I would do. I could go into more detail about the circumstances and my odd behavior but it would take a while. My first pys doctor was not for me but he did put me on my meds I still take today but I get off them sometimes for various reason. I didn't see another doctor until 2 years later after a another meltdown that forced me quite another job and didn't work for 4 months. I was still using meth but I ran out of medication and since I didn't have a doctor at the time and refills a doctor I new ran out. So the downward spiral was happening but this time it was different. I was irritable, lashing out on people, selfish, and didn't care what anyone thought since I had financial support from my family to pay my bills not emotional support. I isolated myself from everyone and stayed In My apt for two months and a friend of mine took care of things I needed to do that requires leaving my place. If wasn't for his presence there I would have tries to Hurt myself. During the 4 month rollercoaster happening in my life not once did my parent come check on me or talk to me about my disorder and that has made me feel like I'm alone and have no one to turn to. Recently it has stated to happen again while for the first time taking my meda everyday and I was still depressed so I stopped. Since they didnt make a difference and my liver wAs showing elevates enzymes from the lamatical I strop three months ago. Im working my full time job and a PRN job working 3 weekends of month so I'm waiting for my shit to start spilling over into my work any day know. My life is filled with anger, resentment, and a bunch of other shit. I have no one to talk to and the people who do know act like my disorder dosent exist. So here I am trying other things to change the way I handle my disorder. One last thing my wonderful doctor dosent know I quit taking my meds because I was afraid if I told her she would either want to change my Meds and I'm not getting on something else with more side effect and take my anxiety meds plus my ADHD meds. Those two meds I think are why I'm still able to keep my job,

Remember and I thinking about all of you and wishing you the best.


Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself

– George Bernard Shaw


I have found that if you love life, life will love you back

- Arthur Rubinstein

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive

– Howard Thurman.

Life isn’t a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘Woohoo WHAT A RIDE’!
