Hi, my name is Jasmine. I was diagnosed as being Bipolar about 10 years ago. I am a 33 year old mother of 4 step-children who live with me and my husband full time. My Meds did a great job controlling my moods until about 2 years ago. At that point we started having to play with combos and doses. Every time we think we got it right my brain says “HA! Fooled you! Let’s get back on the roller-coaster”. I am trying to find a new therapist but I am not having a lot of luck. I stopped seeing my old one because I didn’t feel like he was taking me seriously.
I don’t have anyone in my life that really gets me. I do not know another person who has bipolar disorder or any other similar thing that I could talk with. I found you guys and hope that I have found a group that can help me understand myself better.
