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

Hi @tonys

Just had snaggers and fried onions on bread with sauce and mustard for dinner. Pretty simple sorta food. I fear I might turn into a sausage soon. Had quite a phase of them. Having lamb shanks tomorrow, that will make a nice change.

Re: Introduction

The food ain't bad @tonys, ain't bad at all. That said, I only eat sandwiches while I'm in hospital for unknown weird reasons. I guess I just really love sandwiches and really hate making them....

I ute you say? Nice!

Yep, going on 5 weeks in the ole lockup now @Oaktree x

Re: Introduction

Oh no wonder you went walkabout @LeChuck. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the sandwiches. There’s so little to find joy in in hospital. I hope you find your way out of there soon. I was pleased for you that you are letting your team handle things for awhile. Life can be so tiring can’t it? Anyway.. hang in there,

Meggle
