KeepGoing Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I started posting already, but I thought it would be good manners to introduce myself to you all. I'm 56-years-old, and have been on the roller coaster from hell since I was about 17. My current DX is Bipolar II, ADHD, Social Phobia, and attendant symptoms/comorbidities (e.g., hoarding, OCD, depression, etc.), but who knows what refinements to that DX will happen over time. It does seem to get tweaked on a regular basis. I've been in extremely dark places for years, maybe decades at a time, but I'm relatively stable now. I wouldn't call myself happy, content, or cured, but I've definitely got a better handle on things. I see a great Pdoc and he and others have saved my life. I'll always be grateful to them. I'm on a pretty mild set of meds right now, as compared to previously. I take low-doses of Trazodone and Zoloft (just started the Sertraline again), and I take Ritalin, and Ambien. I've been on Lamotrigine, tri-cyclics, many SSRIs, and probably some other things I'll remember later (I never kept a list, much to my regret). I really like this forum. In the few days I've been here it has seemed very compassionate, caring, and respectful. I'll try and be that way, too. I've read the Rules; even that last bit about Ripple Cramps, or whatever it was... I forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olga Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Welcome to our happy asylum. It sounds like you have traveled a very long and lonesome road. I hope we can offer some support and friendship. Don't be shy about contacting a mod or admin if there is anything you don't understand. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
