Greetings

I don't think I've done this yet?

Anyway, a brief introduction. I live with schizoaffective disorder. That is my current diagnosis. I am well treated overall at this stage and lucky to live in a safe environment.

I first suffered depression at 16 or so.Since then, I've gone through anxiety, social phobia, addiction, bipolar, psychosis and...now some combination of all that which has the schizoaffective label.

I was attracted to the forums so I could interact with other people with lived experience. I'd like to think that one day I will reach a point where I can offer more support than an eye and a keyboard. But we'll see how I go with that!

3 random facts?

1) I seem to have beaten my lymphoma. Last treated with an autologous stem cell transplant in 2003. So yeah, the woods Are a fair way behind me, but I need to keep seeing my haematologist

2) I collect music- up to about 950 CD's now

3) I write poetry

I think that will do for now! 🙂

I'm still trying to work this place out properly, so am dumping this here because I don't know where else to put it!

Just a Thanks to SANE and all the awesome fellow forum members and administrators for making this place happen. I'm only new, but feel very at home...and I've barely scratched the surface.

Just specifically, the Topic Tuesday section- I missed the last one on peer support, but was able to go back and read through it all thanks to the archive.

See you all around!
