First off, I want to say that part of your problem is that if you're bipolar, you need mood stabilizers not anti-depressants.

Second, Wow... I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through. It's pretty different from my story, so I really have nothing to compare to. I'm really sorry for everything that the hospital and your family put you through.

I wish I could say it gets easier, but again, I know nothing of your situation. I would say try not to stay locked up. I've done that myself, and am suffering the consequences. Try and find some support groups in your area. What is your field of expertise? Is it possible to translate to an online sector, or try and find another job?

And as for the teeth, what are the chances of caps? My mom's missing her two front teeth, but she's got caps so you can barely tell.

(((((ozburnjody)))))) Best of luck in all your going through. There are reasons to hang in there, there always are. Sometimes they're reasons we don't even realize yet, but if we hang in, we will. Welcome to PC, and I hope you like it here. This place is full of support and understanding, and there's always someone who you can relate to.
