So much of your story is familiar to me. I am lucky in that I am still married, but I do have a child, and have a horrible time getting and maintaining any sort of social network. I have a job I love and that forces me to be interactive. My T thinks the PTSD makes my day to day life more difficult than the bipolar.

I am on Lithium for my bipolar but I think it keeps me a little bit depressed most of the time. I wish I could take Lamictal again! Glad to see you think the meds help.

HUGS and I hope this board is as helpful for you as it was for me!
