wow, i am just discovering this forum - have mostly been posting and reading on depression and anxiety.

btw my screen name is Display.

just wanted to check in. i am doing all right today. i was diagnosed with bipolar in 2000, after having had a bad manic episode. i have had minor depressions and hypomanic episodes since then.

starting about 15 months ago, i have been dealing with bad depression. i have had my meds adjusted once (increase in lamotrigine). my depressed days seem to come and go.

i am currently unemployed; this does not help the depression because i have too much time on my hands. lately though i have been trying some new things to get a lead on jobs.

anyway, i will probably post more later. just wanted to say hello. Hello!

[mod edit:  added thread title]

Hi Display! We're addictive and might take up some of that extra time on your hands. ;)

Hi display.. When I first went on bp meds it uncovered a nasty depression, seems my constant mania state was masking alot of it.
My doctor adjusted my meds to give me a bit of my manias back and I have been better ever since.
If you have free time volenteer somewhere. Karma is all about giving back to the universe, and that in turn good things will find their way to you. If you can't volenteer, excersise, go to the library and read. Study things you normally wouldn't read. This can be a chance to discover a new you.

There is a Buddhist saying that basicliy says, don't spend too much time looking at the hole in your life, because you may miss what is coming along to feelingly that hole.

Keep posting

Hi Display! I'm not much newer then you are actually. I also have a bit of anxiety and high stress, mostly due to my son being sick a lot :(. I find the best way to deal with any stress is to seperate yourself from it, basically take a bath and take a breather, maybe go out and wander around a store just to get yourself out. In any case, welcome! :D
