Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 2009 and have since had three manic episodes and four periods of depression. My therapist always tells me to keep stress to a minimum - how is that possible in this day and age?! Stacey Slater (Eastenders) and Zosia March (Holby City) are my favourite characters ever. As a result of following Lacey Turner's career I also enjoy Our Girl (both seasons - I will always ship Molly/Captain James and Georgie/Elvis!) Some people think I shouldn't let my diagnosis become who I am but it's difficult not to when it affects me every minute of my life. Lithium and an assortment of other drugs have failed to work as did CBT so until someone can find a way of managing my condition I do odd jobs (dog walking, laundry, cooking meals, babysitting etc) and am being supported by my loving partner without whom I'd probably be on the streets
