sooty Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hey everyone Not great at introductions but what must be done must be done! Diagnosed Bipolar Type 1, Borderline personality disorder, conversion disorder, social anxiety and recovered bulimic/anorexic/cannabis abuser (have relapsed occasionally), im in my late 20s, female, australian and isolated due to moving interstate not long ago. I dont have a lot, but i do really love animals and nature, op shopping and going for walks along the beach (i really do enjoy going for walks along the beach) and vegetarian food. Last week when i first joined the site i was unwell, id been depressed many weeks with no apparent cause (except everything, of course) and experiencing horrific emotional swings. I went back onto sodium valproate after a big wake up call. Its been about a week and a half and ive noticed a difference, quite a large one from where i was. In the past couple of weeks ive spent the night in hospital, seen a doctor and a psych and been contacted by various counsellors and i will be going onto lithium in a few weeks. Anyways i hope everyone is feeling as well as possible today. Im here to get better and hopefully support others in their journey. Thanks and see you on the boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamcatcher14 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Welcome sooty... I'd like to share my success story but it's a work in progress . Learning to cope with the ups and downs of BP is inherently a bumpy ride but recognising how far I've come helps to instil a sense of hope. I hope to see you around the boards!

Phoenix_Rising Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hello and Welcome to Crazyboards! If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to read The Rules. I'm glad to hear that going back on sodium valproate is helping you. My success story is that I rapid-cycled (I have BPII) for 10 years then discovered Zyprexa and...wallah...I'm a functioning member of the human race again. Take care!
