Hello all! I'm new here and have been lurking around for a couple of weeks. You all seem to be close. I use to hang out in Daily Strength forum but sometimes they can be very immature. You guys seem to really support each other better here.
A little about myself, I was dxed in 93 with BP1, ADD and CFS. I've been married to a wonderful patient man 8 yrs younger than me for 17yrs. At 18 yrs old he took on me and my son knowing about the BP and has loved me through the worst times. We have 3 kids. One from prior marriage, one of our own and were raising my niece. I was doing good on a particular regime of meds for about 8-9 yrs then suddenly spiraled down.. The past three yrs have been hell. Went through a ton of meds, now on 8 different ones and barely hanging on. I fight every day to see some sort of light. My next step if these meds don't work is ECT. My main problem is energy or the umph to get up and do things. I can take my 60 mg of adderall and a five hr energy and still not have enough umph to get off the couch. I'm not really depressed at this time just no energy. Anyone know of any natural energy supplements?
Also I'm full of knowledge myself so if you need someone to talk to, I'm the one! I'm looking to build a circle of friends.
Thanks for taking the time to read
