Hi. My name is Janice and I was diagnosed with clinical depression about 6 years ago and then bipolar 5 years ago. Six months previously to being diagnosed with depression I got sober. The first 1 ½ years I had a lot of rapid cycling. From that time on I was on disability 6 months - worked 6 months until I went on long term disability 2 years ago last March. Since January nothing seems to be working and have been hospitalized once. My doctor and I are once again playing the med game and I am very much a part of this process. I get very frustrated with this disease.
