I'm Mitziez and I'm diagnosed Type I Bipolar. I'm a wife (happily married), and a mother.

I was diagnosed in 2011, but went undiagnosed for several years! It wasn't until a major manic episode in 2010 that brought all to light.


Going through that was flippin' scary! My memory of those events are a little off, and those I do remember are like watching a movie but starring me!


It's sort of surreal. I don't ever want to go through that again! I'm currently on Prozac for depression, Tegretol & Ability for mood stabilization. I see a great therapist regularly and have finally found some stabilization!


I love animals, cooking, music, and B-rate disaster movies.


I was an outgoing person but have found solitude in my social anxiety...enter sarcasm.


I also have PTSD, and occasional OCD.


I'm grateful to have found this site, and have had the ability to meet so many alike. It helps me not feel so alone in this journey.
