Hello there!

Thank you for taking the time for reading my post, in advance.

I'll get the hard stuff out of the way first. My name is Sarah, and I've had Panic Anxiety Disorder since I was in the seventh grade. No psychiatrist figured out that I was also type I Bipolar, until I switched to a wonderful doctor and was informed at the age of 18. I've been seeing this doctor for four years now. I have what he considers to be severe mood swings, as well as a very high level of anxiety. I don't tolerate my medications well, because I have an obnoxious liver. This makes things hard, so I have to switch out medications just about every three to four months.

Something exciting that may happen soon, is that I may get a Psychiatric Service Dog! I would like to know who on this site has one, and how the dog has helped them cope.

I hope to support and be supported by this website, and please be encouraged that there is always a silver lining, even when it seems like there are only gray clouds above. I hope you will join me in overcoming each of our individual battles! We're not alone.

God bless you all.
