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

Thankyou @Shaz51 .... the Sane customs bureau tossed it back at me a few times, Makes it even more fun.. And I know I know I skate a little close to the lines in the interest of raising a chin or two.

So thanks for turning a blind eye now and then.... I bet there are things I post where you just shake

your head and run....

Your a good sport. Thankyou tonys m b 1

Hey @tonys

I did read your poem earlier and it made me smile. I thought I responded but I dont see that here. I had better go re read it because if Sane tossed it back to you it’s sure to have morphed. I loved it!

Hi @Shaz51

Welcome to Greystone.

Normally we are a bit wary of drifters but I reckon you pass the snuff test.

Read the history if you dare. We are a wacky lot. I will go back and find the start of the town in pages.
