I am happy to say that the last 2 days have been good. No suicidal thoughts and no breakdowns. Does anyone else out there just have a string of really bad days and then a few good ones? It's like on the good days, it is unimanigable that I could think like I do on bad days. For the record, I am on 120mg Cymbalta, 1200 triliptal, 300 seroquel, 1 mg risperdal and 1mg haldol. I am on SSDI, and have been on for 2 yrs. Believe it or not, I'm only 28 (almost 29) and never thought that I would make it to thirty.

Another question, I'm single and starting to date a little bit after getting out of a 3 1/2 yr relationship. When is the appropriate time to explain that I am on SSDI and what for? I also have emphsyma and trich along with the bipolar and panic issues. Also, there are some sutures in one of my heart valves that are coming undone due to a open heart surgery when I was an infant, and I have 2 blocked coratid arteries in my neck. The left is 65% and the right is 75%. The last man I dated I believe that all these health issues scared off. But of course, I have to tell the new guy that I am on SSDI, but what for? I'm sure he wants to know where I get an income from. It's all very confusing.

Any ideas?
