I have Bi-Polar and am pretty level right now on my meds. I have been in a depressed mood lately.

Rhonda,


Welcome to the board, I'm glad you found us--this is a wonderful group of ladies and a great place of support!


Like you, I often have trouble communicating when I get really depressed, but am an all out chatterbox when manic!

Hello, Rhonda!!!

Yes, we totally, SO totally understand! I too have multiple diagnoses. Bipolar, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, FMS, and others I don't even want to mention!!! LOL. So yeah, we get it here. Talk whenever you are up to it! The depressions are the worst, aren't they??? I just got out of a 2.5 month long one...ugggggh!

I too feel better now than I have in years...my Bipolar is unfortunately "treatment resistant" so my pdoc and I are on the edge of our seats waiting to see if this new cocktail of meds I'm on will work this time. Its been four years...but I see improvement each year because of the fact that I am learning how to deal with the Bipolar on my own most importantly, and the meds work for a while too.

Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent like that.

I just wanted to welcome you here and tell you I hope you'll join us! We'd love to have you!

Hugs and Hugs,

Keli

Welcome. Hope you feel like yourself for a long time to come. I also hope you can get out of the depressed mood you are currently fighting. I am currently pretty stable and feeling pretty good also. I worry so much when my depression starts to creep back in, like I am failing or something. KWIM? Anyway, Hugs and welcome.
