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

Hello h dears, @Oaktree @tonys

I'm packing my addlebags and heading out into the desert for a wander. You might not hear from me very much for a while, but I'll be back! I know I promised my story I will fill you in when I return!

Oh @LeChuck

I have been waiting somewhat sort of patiently for you. Now I have to wait some more? Oh well when you are ready.

Sorry @Oaktree, I do promise I will share but I've gone downhill and I'm in a place where talking about my life is pretty intensly triggering. I don't want you to feel like you've told your stories and I won't tell mine, I just need to manage things very carefully for a while because I am very fragile. Dredging right now would possibly make me a danger to myself, so my baggage needs to stay in its box for a little while in order to protect me. I will write it all down as soon as it stops causing me to spiral. Pinky swear!

Oh @LeChuck

Definitely take care of yourself!
I hope that you will be feeling better soon.

Sorry that you are not in a good place right now.

Quick @tonys two guns, get LeChuck another whisky! We gotta get them drunk here in our Saloon. Otherwise Sheriff LeChuck might throw you in the town jail for that bank heist you pulled in town the other day…

Re: Introduction

My past is not bad or anything, I'm just having trouble seeing a future for my self when there is SO much evidence that I don't. I'm in a pretty dark hole @Oaktree, @tonys I haven't been checking the forums lately so I've probably missed a lot but I'll catch up and be back as soon as I can. Sorry again. Seeing it in writing just makes a future look even less possible and that's very dangerous for me in this state. Haven't been reading posts for a while because sedated a lot of the time. Promise I'll be back when I can.

Hi @LeChuck

I understand and I have been where you are thinking that I didn’t have a future. It got so bad that I couldn’t set goals. I promise you that it gets better. There is hope. Just hold on and wait for sunnier days.

Just tell me one thing because I am confused. Are you a girl or a boy? The name makes me think male but the makeup brushes makes me think female so as you can see it’s confusing. Love and light to you!

31 years old, female, bipolar 🙂 the name is a pirate from a game I like but I didn't realise what a creepy character he was until someone pointed it out to me!

Thanks for sending hope @Oaktree take. Are of yourself and don't let Tony's be too naughty. You're deputy sheriff for now!
