Hi and welcome. I was diagnosed with BP about 18 months ago following a suicide attempt, altho I have suffered from severe mood swings and depression all my life. I take mood stabilizers and an antidepressant which have had a tremendously postive impact on my daily life as well as my outlook on my future. I still have good and bad times but the bad times aren't nearly as dark and lonely now as they were before. I'm in college and I work full time at a vet clinic (I love animals). My therapist directed me towards this web site about a year ago because there are no bipolar support groups in my area. This is a good place to ask advise, get some kind words and /or vent - depending on your mood!

I am fine thanks ;) I am often online if you are looking for someone to talk to about bipolar. I can't always recommend talking to me. However, I am a rapid cycler who has been fighting this battle for about 21 years.

Hey, thanks for writing me! I also have been suffering from bipolar since I was pretty young, maybe 14 or so. i've come to the conclusion that it's not gonna get any better, i'm tired of having good days and bad days, i just wish it was one way or the other, lol!!

i don't really try suicide anymore because i've done it so much and it hasn't worked so i've decide that if i'm to die it will be because of some illness. I really sound down but i'm not but i just have to face that fact that i'm not gonna get any better!!

Anyway, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm 44 and have a daughter that is going to school and she has 2 sons, so i'm a grandmother, lol!! I love talking and being around other people but for some reason i tend to isolate myself, i hate it!!!

I just got out of the hospital about 4 weeks ago, for cutting myself, i just had alot of pend up anger and i was drinking for over a month, so i ended up cutting myself just to be mean to myself. OMG I really sound bad, but i'm a pretty postive person on my good days. I started taking geodon and that seems to really help and i haven't had any depression for a long while now, i just seem to get a little hypermanic (sp?).

Well i really feel like this a a down letter but i promise you i'm doing pretty good now, i just know that i have to watch my moods and go accordling to them and don't isolate myself!!

Anyway would love to hear from you again!!
