my DX is bipolar11. i call myself a bipolarbearian. i get way more depressed than i get manic. i take lamictal, wellburtrin, prozac, xanax and for my pain, i take one darvocet when i need it. which is rarely now.
i'm 62, just moved to Texas. single 16 years. married twice. three dogs and four cats. two daughters and three grandchildren. one daughter lives here with her two children and one lives in the town that i just moved from. her husband is in

Iraq.
photography defines who i am. i am also a music slut. i read alot and i take old light fixtures and make elegant chandeliers out of them for candlelight. i love to garden and cook. i hate people who abuse animals, children, the elderly and my space.
i cannot sew, paint, draw, sing, cook korean food (which i love), stay cheerful all the time, stand my brother and the heat and ants and religious fanatics....
i have limitless patience for ducks crossing the road, possums, snakes, spiders, lovers, trains, old men, the mentally ill, horses, small creeks that are trying to exist in the heat, cats, lizards and toads, Van Morrison, my daughter who has ruined her hair trying to go blonde, children learning to tie their shoes or dial my rotary phone, small dogs that don't understand that some cats don't like to wrestle, Willie Nelson and my learning to crochet.
i love Dairy Queen tropical blizzards (with pecans), german chocolate cake, fried apples, cornbread (that i make),fried potatoes, fried okra, fresh tomatoes, sour kraut, pinto beans, stir-fry, mangoes, peaches, apricot pie, northern New Mexico food, Coca-Cola, plums, northern New Mexico Jonathan apples, cigar smoke, pipe smoke, sexy men, flirty (classy flirts) men, men that have a life,
cowboys and indians and Bill.
PM me any time. love, pat
