Hi Everyone,


I know I've been in and out of the board recently but hope to be here more and more. So let's have a roll call for the new and old. Give us your name (or screen name if you prefer); where you are from; how you are feeling today; and a hobby you may have. I'll start off.


My name is Traci


I live in Northern Virginia


I'm still stable and LOVING it!


Now is camping season so that's my hobby for this time of year:)


Hope to hear from you all!


Hugs,
Traci

My name is Ting (screenname)


I live in Tennessee


I'm stable with my meds but experiencing a bit of a downswing. I'm so-so today, better than yesterday. I would be a wreck without my meds.


Hobby - Right now reading is the big one. I also LOVE to travel and that keeps me on the upswing. I want to find something else to keep myself busy, though, like church activities or scrapbooking.


Hugs!

MC or Brenda

I live in the panhandle of Texas.

I'm in a depressive mood right now. Several things may be to blame.

My hobby right now is cruising the boards here at iVillage.

My name is Tallyn.

I live in Northeastern Oklahoma

I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar I, last episode mixed (was previously diagnosed Bipolar II). Just got out of the hospital Tuesday. I'm currently a little (although I don't know when I'm a little and when I'm a lot) manic, got only 22 minutes of sleep (more on that in another post) last night. I'm feeling impatient at dh for calling me all the time when I got stuff to do. And miffed at the Jehovah Witnesses for talking my ear off (no offense to any present JWs listening). I still got 4 loads of laundry to do and a house that needs some serious cleaning.

The hobby I pursue most is surfing the internet, researching various topics, learning as much as I can about them.

My name is Beth

I live outside of Toronto

I have been depressed for a long time, but I think it's finally starting to lift

I play flute at weddings and stuff, which is sort of a hobby, but makes me some pocket change

My name is Kristen.

I live in sunny Southern California.

Still riding the rollercoaster of my mixed episode, low at the moment. Called pdoc yesterday and haven't heard back yet.

I used to have hobbies, like reading and movies, but with two small children and everything else I don't have time.

Steph- been here before, but it was a long time ago and not for long

Pacific NW, 5 miles from the border

Bipolar Type II, GAD, Social Anxiety, OCD tendencies, SAD, ADD, Insomnia

Not sure what I am right now. I had to go off ALL of my meds immediately last weekend when I had a liver enzyme test come back at 10x + normal levels. My pdoc gave me one new med to help with the withdrawals from the clonazapam and the anxiety. I am on zero mood stabilizers and antidepressants right now. I did immediately up my dose of Omega-3s and add B12 and Chromium.

During this week, I have also had two other significant health things going on. I had a pelvic ultrasound to see if I needed to have an endomitrial biopsy. Fortunately, there are a couple of benign things going on, nothing outstanding.

I had my mammogram last week. I was phoned on Monday to come back in due to a node that they found and wanted to take a closer look at. Unfortunately, I will be going back in for a biopsy of this node. It did not look good at all.

All this following my dh's dx of prostate cancer a month ago. I have no idea what is situational and what is chemical.

I'm looking forward to getting my new plants potted today.
