Hi @liz223. I'm so happy to welcome you to Connect. I love that you come to us with such an open heart 🙂
I'm tagging @dawn_giacabazi and @rosemarya, two of our mentors who I know will want to welcome you as well.
I'd also suggest that you look at the following posts. It sounds like you could add a lot to the conversations taking place:

https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/manic-episodes/
And, if you have experience with antidepressants, there is a robust conversation about medications happening here:

Happy to have you!

@liz223, Welcome to our discussions! I admire your openness and willingness to reach out and help others. Although, our (you and me) backgrounds are different, I believe we share the desire to help others. A listening ear, and understanding from someone who has 'been there' can be very and encouraging. I like how you said, "I'm here if I can help anyone and would like to. I believe the more we can help others, the better we become (emotionally, physically and spiritually)." It sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for: I hope you continue to do well. I encourage you to look at some other discussion threads on Connect, and join the discussion.

Thank you. Don't know if I can help, but I will check it out. My history regarding antidepressants isn't too good for others. 🙂 I have managed primarily on my own without meds other than mild Paxil.
