Hi, I am older and have had bipolar since I was 30, diagnosed at 46, the meds gave me RA but I am doing fine now and am on zyprexa and celexa taken together. My most difficult thing is that I get insecure and fear is my most pressing mental health problem. My marriage is good and I have constant contact with my children, grandchildren and family in general. My Dad is 98 and mean as ever but he would help me in a pinch if I needed it. My family of origin is no big deal to me but the family and stepkids that I have raised, and especially my daughter and her kids mean a lot to me. My husband is the best and I am lucky to have found someone who understands me.
