Hi everyone,
Please don't flame me for bringing this up, but I wanted to give you an update on how I'm doing. If you'd rather not read about it, please move on to another post.
I'm writing this because I've been struggling all summer with my bipolar disorder. I've had several manic episodes which have required several medication adjustments. I'm not going into detail about what my manic episodes are like -- let's just say they aren't pleasant like most people think they are.
Anyways, my medications have been changed/adjusted several times (which is a common practice for those who have bipolar) and I'm doing much better now.
I also have a case manager who checks on me several times a week (or weekly) depending on how I'm feeling.
As I write this, I feel the best I have in several months. I'm able to control my emotions and think before I act.
Amelia (my guide dog) is also doing well. She just turned 2 this month and her behavior has improved dramatically from the time I received her in January. I can really see her personality come through and although it took the both of us awhile to bond, we're both doing great!
Again, please do not flame me for writing this. I just wanted to share how I've been over the past several months. Thanks.
