So right now in my recovery process I'm wondering if there is more to my story and I'm seeking a reevaluation. I have an appointment but I have a feeling about what they are going to say. Does anyone have any stories that will give me a better understanding of bipolar because the internet can only give you a general scope.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

I don't have holidays anymore I ignore them does anyone else?

I'm currently taking 25 mg of Zoloft every day. It's a pretty low dose, and I've been told it's basically the equivalent of a natural remedy. So I was thinking I could just replace it with an actual natural remedy. I'm not exactly sure what I could use though. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Is it something you celebrate with absolute joy to be a survivor or denial of aging? (And add your age, would be awesome!!!)

My partner doesn't buy gifts for anyone but me. Not even his family at Chistmas!

I do make a big fuss over my day... but mostly I want to spend it reminding everyone who has helped me stay alive that they are incredible. 😍

I have severe depression and anxiety that I struggle with every single day and gets worse during the holidays. As a single stay at home mom to three kids sometimes holidays can get extremely overwhelming especially when you can get things they want due to financial reasons. Also my ext husband the kids dad likes to out do me with gifts and stuff. Any suggestions would be great thanks.
