I'm on an upswing so bare with me. I don't know how old you are but I'm 30, how I got here who the **** knows:
- I had several expiration dates surpassed each one.
- Spent several years bouncing from place to place because of a very stupid impulsive decision
- found my husband, had our son then moved cross country on a whim and $500
- Bounced around from state to landed in Ohio
- In Ohio I was put on depression meds, then mood stabilizers, then depression meds.
My husband was on depression medication
- Bounced around, ditched meds, they weren't helping anyway,
-Enter WV, Husband was able to stick to a job for longer then 2 months, we settled into a place and made a home
- Husband went manic and required a note to continue working. So he went to the local clinic, started therapy and meds but was/is not released to work. I was going with him to his appointments. My husband was given a warning that I'd crash.
- Was convinced to go to intake before the crash finally put on the right meds, w an awesome Pdoc & T

It's been a jumbled up mess for years and we didn't realize until recently what true normal was like. I have a husband have been together for 13 years, have an 11 yr old son. We have our home 4 years and a dog. We have to live really simple but it's good. It completely is not what I expected out of life.

I was suppose to get my animation degree and work for pixar until I blew it and then travel the world through peace corp living off oranges I never planned a family with a kid in tow. I'm not the marrying, kid type but I met my husband I figured if he's willing to follow me how could that hurt. Then a kid or 2 didn't sound that bad we had the money and they're little and can travel. Now 13 years I'm here in the middle of nowhere living a life that I didn't expect but like.

That by no uncertain terms means we're off the roller coaster. It's honestly more like a double roller coaster ride with your best friend. So it does get better but most likely the landing will be in a completely unexpected place then you thought it would be.
