Hi everyone!

I just signed up to this board and I'm very excited about finding it. After reading some of the posts, I've discovered that this is a warm and supportive community.

Just a little about myself:

I was diagnosed as bipolar II in 2000, having been previously diagnosed as major depressive with generalized anxiety disorder.

I have been hospitalized twice and am currently seeing a pdoc and a T. My current mood is depression. I tend to be more depressed than manic.

I'm really more a "listener" than a "talker" but I will try to make as many contributions as I can.

I have taken many different meds but due to my memory, concentration and comprehension problems I cannot remember many things about how they affected me.

The meds I am taking now have helped me more than any I have ever taken, but the anxiety and depression is still breaking through. I see my pdoc on Monday.

Anyhoo, that's a little about me. I hope to get to learn more about you all and learn how to better deal with BP.

Pam
