Bizzartist Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hello, party people! I'm glad I found this site. Maybe now I can direct my anxious and depressed musings somewhere other than the few friends I have left. I'm a single mom in her late 30's, really only diagnosed and getting treatment for things for the last 5 years or so, trying to finish college and keep my son from turning out like me. (That second task is especially hard since I've had to move back in with my bat-shit cray mother.) I'm SEVERELY ADD, have the whole depression/anxiety buffet going on, AND I started having Clusters a few years back. All I have to say is, better living through pharmaceuticals! I'm JUUUUUUUST starting to claw my way out of possibly the worst depression I've ever had, made more difficult by numerous misfortunes one after the other for the last few years (you know it's a good story when your therapist says "more shit happens to you than any other person I've ever known") with the latest and greatest being my fiance breaking off our engagement and the ongoing drama as we try to reconcile. Good times. So, needless to say, I'm thankful I've found you guys. I really have no support network at all, and I have to be strong for my son and deal with the massive negativity my mother piles on daily. I'm in such a delicate place right now- teetering on the edge of the Bad Place; maybe now I can really start to put it behind me. And I hope I can help others do the same.

Bizzartist Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks, everybody! And thank you, Olga- I've got a lot to get off my chest, lol! I know this is a "first person only" site- I hope I don't accidentally cross that line at some point...but dammit it's hard to be in the middle of a homemade looney bin and be the ONLY ONE on meds!!! THE CRAZY- IT MAKES ME CRAZY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well, here's the thing about the first-person situation. If you are having difficulties with your child and would like to discuss him with other parents, take your question to our parenting forum. It's perfectly okay to do that. Ditto if your mother is driving you nuts---go to the family forum and vent all you want. All we ask is that you not post in a place that isn't a part of your experience. I don't have bipolar, so I don't post on that board. If you don't have an eating disorder, please don't post in that forum. What we want to avoid is having members post things like "My sister has anorexia and she did such-and-such." Good luck and I hope you enjoy hanging out with us. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
