This will grow as I grow.
Right now, the basics
- I was diagnosed Bipolar I, rapid cycling, and ADHD in 2001
- I am in my 40’s
- I am recently medicated, after a loooooong road of finding the right doctors and medication
- I spent most of the past 15 years denying that I actually had bipolar
- I still have so much more to learn, but have learned so much in the past 2 years
- I decided I’m going to start telling my story in tiny tidbits. From the beginning. I will tag those “story”
- Current meds 9/19:
Oxcarbazephine (mood stabilizer)
Latuda (anti-psychotic)
methylphenidate (Ritalin -ADHD stimulate)
Valium (anti-anxiety)
- I realize that this blog is currently a big jumbled mess. I make references that I hope to explain down the road under the tag “story”
- It’s a lot of effort to tell my story. I have to be in the right mood to revisit things. That’s usually in the middle of the night when I just can’t get up and type it all out, unfortunately 😄
