I am a 36 year old female living in Australia. I have two dogs, one Maltese X named Lily and one Scottish Terrier X named Pepper. They have helped me through some difficult times in my life. My Rapid Cycling Blog deals with my mental illness issues. I have been on and off anti-depressants since I was 20 years of age. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2006 and re-diagnosed with depression and anxiety in December, 2008. Rapid Cycling will give you minimal insight as to what I went through medication wise during the months that I blogged. I will continue to update Rapid Cycling as some of the posts have peaked particular interest. Due to my misdiagnosis I went on to start a support group for bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression which has been operating since January, 2009. I have met some wonderful people through this group. We now have a Google Group up and running so if you are interested please contact me for the address. Please share your experience, strength and hope with mental illness on Rapid Cycling for the whole world to see.
