I love demographics, polls, and such. As a sociology major, I find it totally fascinating. I would love it, and appreciate it if anyone who is willing would complete the polls and answer a few non-invasive demographic questions. If you don't want to share, I completely understand.
1. how old are you?
a. 18-29
b. 30-29
c. 40-49
d. 50+
2. employment?
a. working full-time
b. working part-time
c. on disability
d. unemployeed
e. homemaker
3. Does bipolar affect your ability to work, even if you are working full or part-time?
4. Do you feel that your medication is working for you?
5. Do you have another diagnosis, like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia,
Agoraphobia, or others?
6. if so, do you feel that it is more or less debilitating than the dx of bipolar?

I'm going first!
1. how old are you?
b. 30-29 (Freudian slip here on my poll? LOL should be 30-39.. but hey.)
2. employment?

3. Does bipolar affect your ability to work, even if you are working full or part-time?
Yes, I have a terrible time juggling work and home responsibilities. I also have a
terrible time dealing with any stress.
4. Do you feel that your medication is working for you?
I think my Lexapro keeps me from "raging", it keeps me from getting angry and keeps
me from getting mad alot. I think it helps me with over-stressing too. I do cycle on
it though.

Agoraphobia, or others?
My Dx is BP, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, and Agoraphobia.
6. if so, do you feel that it is more or less debilitating than the dx of bipolar?
Sometimes, I often wonder which the symptom/behavior should be attributed to, like if
I'm not wanting to leave the house to go to school I wonder if it is anxiety or bp-
depression.
