| A little about me: | I am 35 and was diagnosed BPI with rapid cycling or mixed episodes in January 2009 after a psychotic episode that lasted a few days and after almost getting arrested and being driven to the hospital in an ambulance. I had left home and was 200km away when I was picked up. I don't remember much about my first three days in the hospital. I spent about twenty days in the hospital before being released. Before going in I was engaged, by the time I came out my fiancé was getting his bags ready, he was leaving me after 8 years together because he didn't recognise me anymore. I spent the next two years completely out of it. I was on 1500mg of Depakote, was losing my hair, had the shakes all the time and was completly delusional. After a 5 month sick leave I resumed work and went to work completely out of it. I am still suprised that I did not lose my job. In the fall 2010 I started taking 2mg Abilify. My life completly changed after that. I slowly came back to being myself again. It took months, but the voices went away and the delusions as well. I have been symptom free for the past year and a half. Sometimes I miss my imaginary friends and I miss the hallucinations and the delusion. But then I remember how unpleasant it was and I dread not having my pills anymore. I have met a wonderful man last fall, and now I am trying to figure out if I would be able to have children with him. The thought of stopping my medication is daunting, but I have to weight the pros and cons. |
