@everyone. I got back on after great technical difficulties. . It's been a while . Still see some familiar names. Find it difficult to navigate this platform like where do you go to write a new post rather than in someone 's reply.

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

That's very interesting to me. I got autism. ADHD and schizophrenia in the family but not bipolar. Always mistrusted my diagnosis for that reason. I wonder if OCD also shares this gene

@Shaz51 @Olga I'm a black swan, no known bipolar or schizophrenia (my first diagnosis) in my family. 2 or 3 autism spectrum disorder in young ones that may have been inherited from in-laws.

Probable c-ptsd though in several of us

@BP1 @Olga

I'm here looking through SANE discussions and chats just to say hello and maybe make some new connections.

I'm finding reading people who are new to me really interesting.

Yep. I have no life really.

Anyway I hope you are both well and travelling OK 👍

Hi Taali,

Hope you’re well! I know a Taali, met him in hospital - was an absolute legend, got me through a tough time.


Great to see this thread is having a little resurgence over the past month. Helped me out a lot early days after being diagnosed.

Here to support anyone new / going through it.
