Bio
Hi, I figure maybe people might want to know a little bit about me or not...but here goes.
I was diagnosed Bipolar 2, OCD and clinically depressed(now more often called major depressive disorder) between the ages of 7 and 8. Since then, I've been on many different medications in different combinations. Right now, I'm working on finding one that will help now.

Time for not stuff from the past, hobbies that I used to do are draw, read, and listen to music. I was learning how to play the guitar. I pray to gain strength and courage. I try to draw sometimes still.

I have many friends on here and they have helped me and still help me.

I have a deviant art page where I try to put some of my artwork. Anybody is welcome to look.

Thanks for reading about me. <3

Last few months had big drop then felt better almost hypomanic. Felt better faster than normal for coming out of depressive episode. was ok felt stable then few days ago lowest fastest dip I've had. Never this low this fast. Only a few days till I got at this really dark bottom. Help?

...See more How do I sleep tonight when everything in my head is spinning around and around? Sometimes it spins so fast that I can only see dark and feel wind trying to rip me to shreds. Other times it's like I'm in the eye of the storm. I briefly glimpse what is around me and find a calm. But just as fast as it calms it tears into me again. A tornado trying to tear me apart. I feel the tears come down my face as it consumes me again. What is hiding in its frightening winds that will hit me next? Will it pass by me? Or will it crush me and steal any chance of me returning?The winds pull at me. Trying to sweep me away. Stealing the breath from my lungs, suffocating me. I scream for help but the wind steals the words from my mouth. Carrying them away. No one hears them. When will the next calm come? Will it come at all?
