Introduction

Hi guys I am new here but just skipped over introducing myself and threw myself straight into the forums so let's rewind a minute.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder in 1990. It changed my life and not in a good way. My mother said "now you will never do anything with your life" and my Aunt said "we should put her in an institution". It was right then that I decided that I would live the best life I possibly could with this illness. I since met and married my husband and we had 3 gorgeous children who have all now reached adulthood. I have been in and out of hospital a lot since around 2008 and somewhere along the way had BPD added to my diagnosis. I enjoy art and crafts, playing computer games and watching tv. I was working with a psychologist and we were going to work on childhood trauma as I grew up in an abusive household but I kept getting sick so we are currently on a break. Not sure if I want to go back to therapy at this point in time. Not sure what else to add so I will just leave it here. Feel free to ask questions x

well to be perfectly honest megs

@Oaktree

the xxxxxxxl green one is a bit on the nose so to speak and needs a jolly good wash with all sorts of anti-bacterial ingredients.

A purple xxxxxxxl one will do just fine so that we can intersperse the two in between fumigation laugh...

Re: Introduction

@Oaktree @Sophia1 Yes the special statue for Cat arrived a couple of weeks ago. I haven;t been able to do more in the corner of the garden though as I have had very late nights at work and the weekends have been raining (or super cold). I am hoping to get a little done in the morning before I head to my parents' place. 👍

Re: Introduction

oh I did not know about the special statue yet

I am hoping to be tagged to a space where I can take it it when my head is not spinning as it has been for the majority of the day...

so I can respect the space that you have made and take it all in...

@Zoe7

sorry @Oaktree meg

our responses are all crossing over each other which is what happened before and caused confusion..

so I am going to thank Zoe for now.. you know me well zoe and I hope understand that I am just exhausted.

still please stay in contact though

@Oaktree how about we head over briefly to the virtual thread and put in an appearance to settle the dust over there so to speak.

what do you think Meg?
