Hi there everyone,
I've been here for afew days now, and thought it was about time I introduced myself. Previously I wasn't feeling up to it, the depression had overtaken me.
I'm 31 and my world is my children, little boy of 8yrs and 5yr old girl, they make me feel so alive. If it wasn't for them I would certainly see life differently.
I have been diagnosed with Bi-polar Depression, Anxiety/Panic and OCD.
I would rather not go into details of my past, as I would prefer to concentrate on a positive future and keep focused rather than looking back, but I do feel that I haven't had an easy ride. Since ending in a MH Hospital for three month's after suffering a major breakdown nearly two years ago, I have tried my hardest to look forward and think in a positive way, (but as you all know it can sometimes be easier said than done), especially as I still have nightmares regarding my past.
I've joined this site in hope for support and also help give support to others who are going through similar feelings.
I take medication and have done for 13 years. In the past two years, since leaving hospital I have been taking extra med's that have helped me a great deal.
I realise this is only a brief introduction, but if i'm honest I'm not feeling well in myself right now and this is all I feel I can manage.
I have already met some members in the Chatroom and they have been very supportive and caring, I feel so glad that I have found this site.:flowers:
Thanks for reading and take care of yourselves. I hope to see you around the site :emot-wave: xxx
