Hello, everyone,
I'm new here, and kind of nervous. I'm not sure how to act, what the right thing to say is. So I'll just introduce myself. My name is Dee. I've been diagnosed BiPolar for about a year. By the way, what is the difference between BiPolar and BiPolar ii? I saw that on the psycho-babble board. I didn't know there were types. I recently just dumped my Depakote medication because I gained 54 pounds and my hair was falling out. My doc replaced it with Lithium. I'm 40 years old and this is my second semester in college. Surprisingly, I'm pulling A's and B's. It's hard to focus with some of the meds I'm on. I work in a degrading job at a movie theatre, but that's just until I graduate school or find something better that will accomodate my school hours. I share a home with my widowed mom (we have fun), 3 dogs, 2 cats and 11 ferrets. Okay, so we're the crazy animal ladies who live down the block. We don't care. Everyone's healthy and well taken care of. Anyway, that's me in a nutshell (pun intended). Nice to meet you all. Dee
