    Not much hope?

    One thing I have learned is that there is always HOPE! Pull out your Bible and look in the back under the word "hope" and you will find many scriptures that are there to encourage you! Keep posting and we will be praying! God Bless! Stephanie

    Choosing not to be deluded...

    Hello!! From reading your post my guess is that you do have social phobia, and also probably OCD. That would explain not wanting to be touched, not sharing food off place, etc., because when the above happens, your brain switches into panic mode, that is what happens with Obsessive Compulsive...

    Infidelity and Bipolar

    Like I mentioned earlier, we have to keep thinking about ways to NOT put ourselves in that situation at all, such as keeping away from men friends, bars, anything that would trigger the "huntress" My first "hunt" actually happened during a bachelorette party! We went to a hotel which had a...

    I have never actually had a "normal" sex drive -- ever! Its not sex that I wanted, I loved the attention these guys would give me it was such a rush! I was always very flirty, but never one to "rack up my numbers" in high school or anything, as I knew when I got married I did not want to have...

    Depakote Pros and Cons

    NC -- Are you still taking Depakote? Since you said weight gain was major factor, I assume not? Also can you tell me what mg you were taking, and you mentioned combo of other drugs, were those helpful and can you list those? I am trying to see if I am on the right combo :( Thanks! Stephanie
