Riding the Wave ... And the Trough

I am mentally ill, diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I, OCD, ADHD, PTSD and a vitamin B12 deficiency (a key element in brain development). For over 12 years, I took anywhere from 5-8 psychotropic meds each day, and have been recently giving myself a monthly injection of B12.

In January 2012 I was hospitalized for depression, and management of my currrent med cocktail. Immediately all but two of my meds were discontinued and, after a few weeks of adjustment, and some near hospitalizations, things seem to be going much better.

I have been on permanent disability since January 2010, and am adjusting to life on a very limited income.

My prayer is that in walking with me during the ups and downs of Bipolar Disorder, you might find solace, and benefit through my experiences.

WHAT AM I FORGETTING?

The answer to this question is ... EVERYTHING. It's not that those who suffer progressive memory loss actually forget everything. But when they begin forgetting, or "misremembering" frequently, then even if you remember something correctly, you can't trust yourself, and the result is the same as if you forgot.

Guess I'll Lose My Mind

Hey everyone, I just received some breaking news! Ever since I was diagnosed in 1994, I wondered what would happen. Maybe you have also. I mean, where will it end? Will your present state of mind stay the same, or will it get better or worse? You're bipolar now and you'll be bipolar until your last breath. But where that last breath is drawn, you can't possibly know.
