Hi Jenna
My name is Kel and I am an alcoholic who is grateful to be sober today.
A little over two years ago I was diagnosed Bi-polar and other mental disorders. My family has suspected this for many years.
Yes it is a hard pill to swallow knowing that we suffer from a mental disorder.
The first year they had me on so many different and powerful drugs that I was basically a zombie. I felt completely numb.
It has taken a lot of work to find what works for me and how best to deal with my depression. I finally found a Dr. who would not over-prescribe meds and he took a hair sample to determine what my body was deficient in.
I take zoloft and nutritional supplements and they seem to be working pretty well for me.
It runs in my family and I realize that it is something that I will most likely always have to deal with.
I have found coming here to SoberRecovery and trying to get spiritually fit has been a tremendous help to me.
I fear those times when I just can't seem to rise above the dark cloud and manage to even get out of bed...but so far so good.
So you are not alone and we are here for you...
I look forward to having you around,
