Hi! I'm a new member, a 30 year old mother of three little ones, artist, long time depressive, newly diagnosed and newly medicated bipolar. My antidepressant maniced me out this fall. I had what I can only describe as a beautiful but intense three month religious experience. I am now on a mood stablizer that is woking pretty well, but waiting for it to stabilize. That's me and my mental illness in a nutshell. Other than that, I live a pretty nice life. Good husband, three beautiful and smart children, a few good friends, I'm learning to be a potter, I live near the ocean, have a new puppy, a nice new down comforter with a flannel duvet cover to sleep off my mood stabilizer-sleepiness.
I'm just trying to come to terms with being on serious meds, being bipolar, having a close to God experience, having a new faith in God and figuring out what to do with that. I'm sure there are a few of you out there who can relate to at least one of the above!
