My Intro

Hey!  Do you have Bipolar?  I sure do.  I have had some tortured years with this illness. I am coming up from a very nasty depression.  My worst yet! I slept endlessly, had no appetite and couldn't get myself into the shower to save my life.  

I feel a little bit better after 5 months of depression.  I am eating and showering again.  I still could sleep forever.  I want to take you through the past year so you can see you are not the only one on this roller coaster. 

I also have a podcast I started a year and a half ago.  For some of you it may be too much to hear me speaking when my depression hit me.  Blogging should be a softer approach to sharing my story.  For those of you who like a little emotion, head on over to my totally non-professional podcast at Itunes or Spotify under Mental Melissa.

This is my first post.  Check back often to see how I am doing.  Can't wait to hear from you.
