when the going gets tougher than the tough can go
I just wanted to stop in to say hello. I discovered this community a couple of days ago, and I think that it is a good thing that you are all here for each other. I've been diagnosed with bipolar I for almost 5 years now. My adolescence was a crazy time, and I'm pretty glad now that I am almost 30. It doesn't stop the episodes, but I have better coping skills now. Mostly I try to have a sense of humor about it.
I am just out of the hospital, and I am living with my parents. It sort of sucks, but this is where I need to be right now. I broke up with my best friend, and I am really sad about it. She told me that I am sick and that I need help and then she just stopped talking to me.
I know this post sounds as though I'm not doing okay, but, in fact, exactly the opposite is true. I'm totally fine. I am lucky that way.
I'm on 200mg Lamictal, 900mg lithium, 30mg Abilify, 1mg klonopin. It works pretty well. If anyone wants to talk meds, I am up for that.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. I think that this is a good space.
