ArtlessAesthetic Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi, my name is Sarah-Louise, and I'm a 23 year old student nurse from Scotland. As you can see below, I have a pick-n-mix of the DSM-IV, but my main issues are my depression and anxiety (diagnosed at 10) and my OCD (diagnosed at 15). My most recent depressive episode started in April after being fairly well controlled for over three years, and 5 months later we're still in the trial and error stage with my medications. Unfortunately, I've recently started having hallucinations, so I'm due off to the p-doc tomoz to figure out what in the name of God is going on. Hoping to get well and back to uni by February (had to take sick leave in May), so I can finish my last year of training and finally be able to say I'm a real nurse. When not dealing with the crazy I love music, computer games, reading anything I can get my hands on and spending time with my thankfully supportive family, friends and partner of four years. I've already found help in this community, it seems awesome, and I'm glad I joined. Looking forward to getting to know you all. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtlessAesthetic Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks for the welcome, your_illusion97. Yep, I'm lucky to have so much support and understanding while this is going on; to be honest, it's the people I love that push me to keep going at times like these.
