ChaCha Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I think one of the hardest things for me to do is to try to simplify my story to introduce myself. For now I will give you the basics: I live in the East Bay in California (San Francisco area). I was diagnosed with BPII, PTSD and GAD in 1997 and over the past year and a half was diagnosed with DID as well. I have been on many drugs over the years but one consistent drug was Klonopin which I took for sleep. I was on it for about 15 years. I actually received my initial diagnoses while on it and had never been treated without it in my system. I have now gone through hell to get off of it successfully and am facing the whole process of getting balanced on medications again. It's a very odd experience, at best, being back at square one -- it wasn't that great of a ride the first time. It's a pleasure to meet all of you!

ChaCha Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks so much. I think this site has so much to offer. I hope I can give in return at least a hint of the help that I have already received just by reading the boards. Wow, that's a cumbersome sentence but I hope you understand what I mean.

olga Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I understand! The main reason I come back every day is that I clearly remember how depressed and desperate I was when I found this place. Be sure to check out the blogs and the chat room. Go ahead and PM a mod or admin if you don't understand something. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
