Hi, new here. I was diagnosed in 1996 with depression and atypical bipolar. I hae been on the same meds depakote and zoloft since 1996. As with most people with bipolar, I love the highs, but hate the lows. What I do to fill my day is work a couple days a week at a used bookstore/coffeeshop, take care of my wife, my chihuahua/poodle and babysit from time to time. Not sure what else to say.
