Hello
« on: September 03, 2010, 04:22:55 PM »
I don't really feel like writing a "book" right now, so I'll...whatever it says post something here so I am, lool. I live in Chicago...32 years old. I was diagnosed with bipolar II when I went and took the ASVAB to try and join the Army years ago. In 2004 I was let into a MH treatment program for it. I have since been diagnosed with Panic Disorder...and depending on what year it was GAD. I hate going to doctors, but I do because it's my problem, my responsibility.

I have had some past problems with "poor impulse control" such as fighting & petty crimes, "attempted manslaughter", etc, which is a big reason why I have been working on this problem so hard. When I think people are taking advantage of me being nervous I can be dangerous sometimes, and worrying about being locked up with panic & bipolar...that doesn't sound like a fun situation.

I noticed that I would "swing" between some kind of ...apparently unfounded rage and terror every day, starting at the age of 21. It was understated then. It seems like it got a little worse every year. I pretty much have the anger management part under control these days. The panic is still annoying though.

I'm on half of a 1mg tablet of Klonopin 4 times a day. That's 0.5mg 4 times a day I guess. The most I have ever been on was 2mg, 5 times a day...which was the lowest anxiety I have had as an adult, but that was too much Klonopin. Anyway, hello.

Welcome to the forum and the site. We all have our problems. So we don't judge others. Just help each other. It can be a fun place too. Not always serious. Few open topics. I'm sure you'll find your way around the forum and the chatroom too. Hope you enjoy and make a lot of new friends.

Thanks man. I'm a little apprehensive but I figured it can't hurt to look around. I'm trying to learn anything I can that might help me get more balanced.

DON'T ever let anxiety define who you are.  You are NOT anxiety.
