About me

Introduction	My name is Lisa and I have bipolar disorder. I was diagnosed 9 years ago, when I was 22. I have shown symptoms of the disorder since I was a child. I have wanted to write my story for a long time; long before I was diagnosed. I recently realized that I am in remission from the disease. Though I still have spatterings of oddness that are probably an effect of my bipolar disorder; I have not met the criteria for an episode in about 3 years. I am ready to tell about my life and hope that it is as interesting, disturbing and enjoyable to read as it is to live it. I live on the East Coast of the U.S. with my boyfriend, dog and cat and work for a nonprofit that focuses on educating the public about mental illness. My time off is split between writing, reading, camping and fishing.
