About Me

I went for years without taking meds, at first b/c I did not want to risk it with being pregnant, and then because I wanted to see if I really needed to be on meds and pressures from my family. I didn't do so good w/out the meds so I'm finally back to seeing a p-doc, though we can't afford for me to see a therapist as well right now. I've already seen some improvement with my new meds, though I hate how tired they make me feel. I'm also done tiptoeing around my family about my having bipolar and taking meds for it. I finally stopped trying to hide it and even told the family members that did not know. I had been ashamed of it but finally realized I need to not worry what other people think, and take care of myself. My husband has always been very supportive, as is his family, so I at least get some support from there.
