ABOUT ME:

I finally sought help in 2006. Initially I was diagnosed with major depression, but as time elapsed and I accepted my situation more, that turned one of Bipolar I. Since then I have taken so many drugs, most of which I could not tolerate (I have that CP450 anomaly). The medications were not helping me and after having been on a new version of Seroquel (SR), I was positively off the planet and could not stop thinking and planning my suicide. I really felt like I was going totally insane. Suffice to say I took myself off everything. I had to do something. Since then which has been about 3 months I guess (I lose track of time terribly), I am really falling apart. I am trapped in a whirlpool constantly spinning, and me trying desperately not to be sucked down. My grip is not very strong, and my emotional state is so chaotic I don't know what is going to happen next. I scare myself. I don't want this existence, it is hell, and no-one is there for me. Nobody sees the pain I am in. Every day it becomes that much harder to find the appropriate mask to put on. I am a good actor, but even my masks are starting to fall off. I don't want to end up in hospital, but I fear I am heading that way regardless. I'm so sick of myself.
