Yes, yes! A home that's not all rainbows and butterflies! Thank the bajeezus there's a board where I can actually say something other than "You can do it! I love you! Way to go!" I mean, srsly... I'm both bipolar and a gemini so let's face it. I ain't happy all the time, folks. So after a warning from a big giant headed mod at another board after I said I wish we could all just say how we feel and let loose a tad, I decided maybe a support board for crazies wasn't my cup of tea. I just happened on this board by accident yesterday! I was googling head scratching of all things. What did I want to do? Hmm.. oh yeah. Introductions.
I'm Tina, 41, married, 2 kids, central Pa, stay at home mom. I think that about covers it. Oh wait... mentally? rapid cycling bipolar, pts, anxiety attacks (this one is new, go me!) a tad agoraphobia.. I'm sure there's prob more but that's what they've told me so far. I am a work in progress. My goal is to achieve at least a dozen different disorders, more daily meds (up to 20 now whoohoo) and hopefully be in an asylum drooling and walking like igor by 65. Can she do it ladies and gentlemen? *shakes Magic 8 Ball* "Unclear. Ask again later." Well poo.
Really, I'm not as crazy as all this but I'm just so excited to be here! Or if you like it I'd be happy to stick with it. Just plz don't make me go back to the land of unicorns and rainbows.
