Penelope135 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'm Penelope. I have dealt with several diagnosis over the years and been to psychiatrist and therapist since 2000. In 2001 I was put on SSDI and have been on it since. The diagnosis I have had over the years are Bipolar 1. CPTSD, BPD, DD, Anorexia, bulimia, Self harm and I have tried to commit suicide twice.I have been treated by psych every 3 months and had lots of therapy (still 2xs week for one hour each time. I have come a long way. My main struggles now are Bipolar 1, CPTSD, BPD and occasional self harm. I had a right temporal lobe seizure in 2012 which controls a lot of your emotions to as well as some current memory. I started having seizures right after that were caused by it. They have gradually gotten worse. I might have to have VNS surgery before to log. Its like a pace maker for the brain. In all though, I am happy to be alive which I wouldn't have said a few years back.Glad to be here. Looking forward to talking to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
