About Me

I am 30, happily married almost 8 years. I have had mental health issues since I was 13. That was my first hospitalization. I was always diagnosed with major depression, anxiety, all those things. When I had last child 4 years ago, I have been diagnosed with rapid-cycling BP. I have been on about 28 different meds. But because I have had lithium toxicity, coma,memory loss, paralyzed (after a few weeks I started to regain movement again.) and dialasys becasue I had sever kidney failure from it. I also had liver failure a few months ago, and can no longer be on very many meds anymore. I have struggled very hard with this illness before but since I'm on very little meds I have resorted to ECT treatments. I know that I am sick. My mother had BP and committed suicide when I was 15. I do not want my children to feel what I feel today with her death and missing her everyday. I will beat this thing. For me, my children, and my husband.
