Shutterbug,

I didn't see it, but my sister clipped out an article about it and gave it to me. I REALLY want to see it. Maybe there is a link out there to the text.

I just registered a minute ago. I am registered on a few bipolar sites, but I desperately want to connect with others with both bipolar disorder and chemical dependency. I was first diagnosed two and a half years ago after a disastrous hypomanic episode which culminated with me losing my job. I haven't worked since and am trying to rebuild my life. I smoked tons of pot to keep from jumping out of my skin before I was diagnosed, and put on Lithium and Celexa (which I was already taking and which may have helped trigger the hypomania), then Lamictal/Wellbutrin/Celexa. I'm still smoking pot, usually several times a day. I lie about it to my psych.

Sorry if I've rambled and maybe I should have started a new thread. I'm a newbie.
