and she feels I am bipolar I. I am starting seroquel tonight and she is going to begin weaning me off of the lexapro, klonopin & ambien as well. I have not yet come to terms w/ this dx although I know it is not the end of the world. She also said I meet many of the criteria for borderline personality disorder but that it all stems from the bipolar.

I really liked this lady today, felt very comfortable with her. I see her again on monday.


p.s- I will do my very best to be at the chat tomorrow night, I'm thinking I'll just take the seroquel at 8 instead of 7 so I can be there for some of the chat tomorrow night. I feel so badly because here I am supposed to be here to help you all out and I'm a mess myself. I pray that next week is better and that next week

This is tough, Danielle): I am sorry. But, it is a treatable condition. Just knowing opens up alot of understanding about what has troubled you. Look forward. Take it a day @ a time. As in any process, you will find acceptance along the way. We are behind you 100%. As for chat, don't put alot of pressure on yourself. Just post on the board if you aren't feeling well. Good luck! (((hugs))) jan

Danielle You have an excellent attitude! I am sure your new Doc can help you with the bipolar. It must be stressful to face a new diagnosis... but you know what you are no different then you were before!! and you are doing well!! =0) So take care and I hope to be at chat too. Judy

THank you Judy, I'm going to have to take it a bit later tonight because I passed out within an hour of the 100mg dose and tonight I go up to 200 mg and I want to make the chat at least for a little while.


Thanks for your support and hope to see you at chat tonight.

Hugs & Prayers
