Hi. I am Maureen and I am new to the group. I have dealt with depression all my life and was just diagnosed as manic depressive (bipolar II). It is a little scary as I went from one medicine to 3 in a matter of months and had more suicide attempts and thoughts than I every had before. My moods were out of whack and constantly changing. I now Take Zoloft, Trazidone, and Abilify to help manange everything. I was told to add 60-90 minutes of excerisize a day to help with controling my moods, stress and weight. I am a Mom of 3 and military spouse so it can be hard to get the support I need or the time to hit the gym. it would be nice to connect with others who are dealing with the same thing.

    Hello and welcome. My name is Ingrid and I have been dx with Bipolar disorder and have found with me that I hit the down side of it. At this current time I am in that hole. I find hitting the gym is my escape the outside world. I love to lift weights help push out the depression among other things. When the weather is nice I enjoy running despite bad knees. Also big into swimming and having my music is my life with out that I don't know where I would really be. It's hard for to ask for help when I need I sometimes express it in my posts that I put up. If you would a new friend you can friend me.
