Hello.
I have decided to join a group like this after dealing with BP since I
was in my teens. I am now in my late 30's, and have two children and
husband. It was very difficult to even join, because for some reason,
I still feel ashamed/paranoid about anyone knowing I am BP. I
shouldn't, I suppose, but I do. My husband is very supportive, but
not always very understanding - he doesn't know what goes on in my
head everyday! :)

I am at a down point right now, and shouldn't be. After all, we just
moved in to a larger home (renting), and it is in a safe area with a
nice big backyard. I am always short-tempered, frustrated. Never
smile anymore. Never upbeat. I have spurts of it, but, short-lived.
I am desperate, I suppose, if I am here writing to you all. I guess
I need some friends that understand. I admit, I take my Concerta,
Synthroid, and Eskalith every morning, but that's as far as
acknowleging my BP goes. Oh, and I see a pshycologist every other
week to talk. I guess I try to be as "normal" as possible. I hate
how I feel when I am like this. I am sure I am boring you all to tears.
Anyway....
I just thought I would say Hello. I am looking forward to meeting
others in hopes I am not alone.

I love the outdoors, photography, and my family.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Have a great day.
T.
P.S. My husband is coming home from work in a bit to spend a few
hours with me running errands. So, that is a good thing for me today.
:) I am not usually this "down-in-the-dumps" sounding. Sorry.
