My name is Tammy and thank you for having this thread. I've been Bipolar for a lot longer then it was diagnosed, as all of us probably realize.
I'm type 2 bp and I do battle depression in a great way. I'm taking Cymbalta and Abilify as a mood stabilizer. The combination works well for me. My doctor was going to put me on Lithium but I flat out refused to take it. My body chemistry does not agree with it. My sister took that medicine and she was like a zombie. When she got off the Lithium, I had my sister back. So there was no way I was going to let that happen to me.
Anyway, thank you for letting me join the thread. I look forward to meeting all of you. I'll try to join the chats when I get approved to be able to.
Have a blessed day.
Tammy

I created this introduction thread due to the number of introductions posted on the "Bipolar Chat" sticky. The Bipolar Chat that I lead is now scheduled on Fridays at 9 PM EST. It will cover a variety of topics which will be posted in the chat announcement and outlines will also be posted for those unable to make the chats. The first Friday of the month Wingin'it will lead an open Bipolar Chat. Those will Bipolar are also invited to the Depression Chat on Wednesday at 9 PM EST, but there will be significant overlap in topic.
