Hello everyone! My name is Angi and I'm with Bipolar Disorder type 1. In addition, I'm a nursing student, married to a wonderful man (love of my life), share 5 kids together, live out in the country after many years of city and suburban life, and two dogs. My current medication regiment is: Seroquel 350 mg at night with Trzadone 50 mg-100 mg as needed, Seroquel 25 mg throughout the day as needed for manic episodes, and 200 mg Lamotrigine. I'm in therapy and doing well. I should post in the success stories.

Without depression I'm bubbly, positive, an overachiever, busy, caring, hard worker, experiment, think outside the box and often am defiant. I'm always pushing the limits and trying to change things for the better. I tend to not follow the crowd and bring up the what ifs? I hope to bring about some positive changes in the world one day.

My husband and I both want to go to med school when the kids are all grown up. He wants to go ER and the EMS Director route and I'm playing with the idea of research. I picture myself on stage in front of hundreds of people lecturing about Bipolar Awareness and updated information.

I'm greatly looking forward to making some new friends. I only have my sister who is also Bipolar. Everyone once doesn't understand.
