Hi,
I'm Heather, 36, bipolar I (13yrs diagnosed). I'm checking around on the web for people who want to talk reasonably about the real issues of trying to get beyond a medication-only treatment approach to life. I'm in touch with a doctor and a counselor but they are traditional - I love their attitude and support, but I need to get past their limits. At the moment I'm not able to spend a lot of out-of-pocket cash on specialists but I've been referred to a couple that I am in the process of checking out.Any comments, suggestions, experience will be welcomed. I need help at this point because I feel like I'm at the end of my patience with my medicines - and I know what happens when I get too defiant.... (so right now, basically, I'm listening to my depressed thoughts telling me lies about the hopelessness of trying to do anything)
I will hit the medications board on this site - just wanted to say hi and see who's out there :)
thanks!
