I love blue whales, living next to the ocean, tie-dye, running, tattoos, and Gustav Klimt's paintings!

As I have grown older, my Bipolar has become more difficult to keep in check. I have tried so many different avenues to deal with my Bipolar, Anxiety, and Depersonalization, but I finally realized I should seek support from people who can empathize. So here I am.

Change is really difficult for me to deal with and sends me in a spiral, yet the life I lead calls for constant change and challenges. It's something I can't give up, because I was SO unhappy living in America.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend because maintaining a healthy relationship while navigating the stormy weather in my brain became impossible.

I just feel alone and already writing this, to you all, makes me feel better.

Xoxo,
Sofia
Welcome, Sofia. I relate to a lot of what you write. I was diagnosed at 41. 56 now and the illness has just become more and more difficult to treat. Maybe heading for Clozaril. I connect w you on that stuff.

I am single. Would love a partner, but who wants to be with someone whose brain is broken? There are a lot of bigoted people out there. They do nlt understand or care about my sick brain.

Check out the checkin thread. We need some new blood. We support each other there.

Ciao!!
