sallie21 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hi I'm a really shy person so this is hard to do. I am in a crisis situation right now and I'm hoping I'll be okay...maybe being here will help. I don't know. I am diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder and I have a lot of anxiety. I can't work, trying to go to school, but I suck so that's not going well right now. I don't really have any friends...the one friend I did have I just lost...long story that's hard to get into. Anyway, I had two major manic episodes in the last year or so that really messed things up in my life, but I'm recovering. Meds are helping and I got a good doctor finally in April that takes care of my meds and therapy both. I struggle now with feeling like crap, sometimes pretty bad, but I have family to think about... That's pretty much what I can say. Things seem very cool here. Don't feel like you have to reply if you read this. Take care. Sallie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunshineOutside Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi Sallie, Welcome. Sounds like you're having some hard times. Trust me, I've had some really really bad times. But I'm still here. Hold onto life, just like you. I'm reaching out for friends who have some sort of understanding. Please feel free to post more.....

lachesis Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Of course we reply Sallie. Everyone is friendly around here. Please keep on talking and let the struggles come out. Mood disorders are not fun. I've had a crash this past week too. People here understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallie21 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks for all the replies. This is very sweet. Life got very strange on me suddenly. I am going through rough stuff...I sometimes have a hard time figuring out what is just me, what is my disorder, what is my med change (going through one now), and what is just, well, just life, you know? Maybe you all know what I mean. I try hard to make everyone in my life happy. Sometimes I get lost in that. And then I just...I don't know. Anyway, thanks for listening. You all are very sweet.

dan Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 hi sally, whats 21? Is it your age? I like trivial things... It beats 42, which comes up now and then... I mean I love doug adams but it's not very original... You should come down to springer, it's ggoood there cos you don't havve to stay on topic, lots of us jump all over but eventually get the point out... in this case my point was welcome... I hope you don't nneed the psychosis board but I hang around there and offer bad advice... I hated being 21 if that is your age, someone should invent a life remote so we can fast forward and rewind... I'm schizoaffective, so don't quite fit anyywhere, I sorta hover like schroedengers cat around the boards ina super position oof states, often on more than one board at once... my heads a bit funny, i hope this made sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallie21 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Dan Your post made me smile. No, I'm not 21. Thank God! I hated being 21 too. Wow, what a bad year. Why'd we bring it up again? Seriously, 21 is actually my favorite number. I use it on the internet a lot as a sort of traveling companion. Good luck...nah...it would have worked by now. I've loved 21 ever since third grade when we learned multiplication and I just loved 7 x 3. Strange, quiet, neurotic child, I was... Thanks for the invitation to the Springer board area. Someone else mentioned that, too. I did read there a little. They seem very personal. I'm shy...would probably be a little hard to just jump in since I don't really know anyone yet. I don't know. Maybe in a bit. Hope you have a good day, Dan. Sallie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
