Hi Everyone, I have BP1 with Psychotic features, as well as PTSD and Anxiety disorder.

There are not many support groups in my area, so thankfully we have the internet to turn too. I just received my disability after a 4 week "partial in-patient" program, several appts with doctors and was accepted right away. I was happy to be recognized that I am not faking this and at the same time sort of ........not sure of the word I want to use, that all these doctors agree that my brain is pretty messed up and working is not in my best interest.

I am seeing a Psychologist now, working on my PTSD and BP issues. She is fantastic and scares the crap out of me just enough so that I know she is not going to take any of my BS and will not let me get away with lying to her. She can see right though me - she's good. She gives me "homework" and does write it down and expects to see when i see her again. I have never had a dr. like this.

Well, that's me in a nutshell (no pun intended)

"I am more than they see, but they can't see me"
Lamictal (300mg) Zoloft (25mg) Klonopin (.5mg at night) Klonopin wafter (as needed)
