Hi. My name is Tammy and I'm 51 years old. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar 1, Depression, Mania, and Anxiety Disorder, NOS, since I was 21 years old. I've been on and off the med go round all my adult life, and can say finally that I've reached a point where I'm stable on my meds (have been for about 4 years now), and I'm at a place in my life when things are pretty good. I struggle with the Bipolar daily, but most days I whip it. There have been times when it has drug me around by the hair!
I live in rural Southern Ohio (Appalachia), southern most tip of the state. There are not a lot of mental health resources available where I'm at, but thank God I have a true alchemist and a wonderful doctor in a larger city about 45 minutes away. I live on the beautiful Ohio River in God's country - a lot of farming and Amish folks around here.
My only hobbies are reading, reading, reading, spending time with my grandkids, and listening to bluegrass music (my husband plays in a band). I'm here for information sharing, resources, and support. There are a lot of forums that I want to peruse. Thanks for listening to me.
