Minds and Medication

It's a fight, a fight every day to survive.  Medication can work for months, years, even decades.  However, medications can also stop working at any given time.  Right now I am dealing with some side effects of a new medication and it is driving me nuts!  I have recently switched from Seroquel XR to Abilify.  The dosage had to be increased and ever since the increase I have had some pretty severe restlessness which is one of the side effects.  I'm trying so hard to be strong and keep my body and mind busy, because that's what helps the most, but its so hard!

I'm a craft freak

I love art!  One of the best parts about being bi-polar is my creative mind.  I recently started an Etsy site in hopes of being able to create many different types of "bi-polar art" .
Please don't think I enjoy having this horrific disease or that I use it as a crutch. I just choose to appreciate the creative mind I have because of the disease.  I also choose to use art as a main coping skill throughout my battle.  So check out my art and let me know if you can see as I feel :)
My Etsy shop is called FrazzledToDazzled

Welcome To My Frazzled Brain

First blog ever...something new for me to try.  I plan on being totally open and honest and letting the world know what it is like to have perfectly happy days and total depths of darkness days.
I fight bi-polar on a daily basis.  This blog will be my story...
