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

Re: Introduction

ah yes @tonys

about that promotion

@Oaktree

who appointed tonys as town drug

was there a special ceremony?

that was before I received the honour of being invited to visit.

I then found out that I am a resident

Tonys would you like to be guardian, magistrate,

justice of the peace (hmm probably not quite in keeping with your antics)

@Oaktree

are you town planner?

interior designer?

who is doing the renovations?

Re: Introduction

Hmm I am not sure who I am, a waitress that does odd jobs and book keeping. I try and keep @tonys out of too much trouble whilst using his criminal skills to my advantage @Sophia1

Re: Introduction

I did see your reply where you were crying @Sophia1

@LeChuck got caught taking bribes and got banged up in town gaol

@tonys assumed banged up meant pregnant
