| A little about me: | I am dx as having BPII. My symptoms became more pronounced 10 years ago when I left my husband of 17 years. My behavior was out of control. I was dx then for depression and probably 4 years after dx with bipolar. I have had many different med. combinations and am currently on Lamictal 300mg, Seroquel 100mg and Effexor 150 mg. I take this illness very serious as my life has been upside down and inside out because of it. I am now very aware my mood swings. I went to rehab 3 years again for cocaine and alcohol abuse and have been sober since then. I attend usually 3 AA mtgs a week. I have 2 grown daughters and 3 grandsons and another grandchild to be born in December. My family is very supportive. I love to laugh. My friends here at MDJ mean the world to me, there are several members here that know me so well, they could finish my sentences. This site has helped me understand my illness better and has given me the reassurance that I am not alone. |
