I was diagnosised Bipolar with moderated depression, Anxiety disorder with Agoraphobia in 2005. I have tried a number of meds and these seem to be working at the moment.

I can remember having issues when I was as young as 13. I had a break down at 17, 19 and 28. When my Mom died I went into the deepest depression (2005) and could not find my way out, I ended up in CSU, on a 72 hour hold.  This is when I was given the diagnosis. But I just thought I was crazy I never in a million years thought that the issues I had when I was younger had anything to do with Bipolar.

At the moment and for the last 4 months I have not had very many issues, except for anxiety, which I take ativan .5mg and then I still cut them in half because a whole one makes me loopie. If I didn't have this medicine I would more that likely not be able to leave my house. Sometimes it gets really bad. But I am dealing with it.

This was probably not where this is supposed to be written you I started typing and this what came out of it.
