Veronique Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My name is Veronique (pronounced Veronica) and I'm Bipolar. I was diagnosed when I was 16, but I've had symptoms since 13. I've cut and self-medicated in the past, and if it was a bad idea I did it. Happily I saw the error of my ways and now I'm straight edge as they come, fore-swearing caffeine and chocolate along with the alcohol and drugs. I do have severe problems with socializing, though it has nothing to do with anxiety and everything with the fact that I never really learned how. I'm currently residing in a long-term stay hotel room because I left my partner of four years while riding a manic high. This has yet to make me depressed, which I find odd and strangely refreshing. I really enjoy hiking and being outside, so naturally I hate winter. My favorite band is The Cure. I'm an optimist and an Aquarius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olga Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes, welcome to Crazyboards. Please have fun looking around, and PM a moderator if you have an issue with anything. We do have a few rules, and it might amuse you to read them. Other than that, we're pretty easy-going around here. It's your turn to make the coffee. And don't forget the donuts. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veronique Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 ... but you didn't mention whether you had psychiatrist (we call them pdocs for short) or a therapist (we call them tdocs for short)? Yes, I have a pdoc, a tdoc, and a communications group that I attend Thursday mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
