Hi all,
Well, this morning I was opening up my yahoo mail and saw that in the news Catherine Zeta Jones has voluntarily put herself into a mental health facility to maintain her stability.
And this got me thinking...
What in the world kind of medication do the Star's use? I am so impressed that Zeta Jones can go on to act etc while taking medication for Bipolar Disorder.
One of the things (among many) that I have lost due to this illness and then the medication that follows IS my creative edge, my passion's, my voice.
It's like I can't write anymore...and have become so passive in conversation because my brain just doesn't dig forever for information anymore. I used to be such an info junkie...and now dullsville.
I take Abilify...and while I do love the fact that I am no longer suicidally depressed or filled with extreme anxiety or take things "too far", I am NOT happy about the fact that I can't write or draw any longer.
Wish I knew what medication would help me but at the same time leave "me" intact. Even husband says I am not the "same vibrant woman" that he married, sigh.
Do you all have any suggestions?
Thanks!
