Hey all, thought I would share my story as I am also new on here.
About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Bi-polar, anxiety, personality disorder and an eating disorder! This all came to head with a emotionally and mentally abusive marriage. I work full time in a high school and love the kids, my boss is an ass, anyhow. I finally broke down at work, it was so strange! Called the doctor and my best friend met me there, he decided to admit me to the hospital for some help! I hated the thought of going there, people would think I was crazy! I cried all the time, noone really could understand it. My story is so long I should really just point form it! - spent in the hospital 4 different times. - I was a cutter - anxiety horribly - tried sucide 3 times - was sent to another hospital for my eating disorder - had a horrible manic epsiode for a summer and to be honest I dont have much memory of it! I know I was out of control - fought with myself and doctors thatI didnt need to be doped up on pills - was off work for nearly two years - any type of meds I have tried -councilling all the time, which I was one of the lucky ones, my counsellor is AWESOME I come from a family with a sister who also is bi-polar and two newphew who suffer from depression. My life was a mess! A BIG MESS. I really didnt care if I lived or died and was tired of people telling me your life is so good, cuz when you are in the bottom of the pit it really doesnt matter. -got to the point with my anxiety I couldnt leave my town I could go on and on, if your interested just ask and I have no problems talking about it! AS I have found that it is helpful to get it out. I am happy to say once I got rid of the husband it was like I was born again. Although I still have tough days and my anxiety is back which really sucks! But I have a new man who is so supportive that is makes things that much easier! The one thing I feel guilt for and always will is that my children had to watch their mom go through hell not really understanding much at all. I did put them in councilling as I wanted to make sure they knew it wasn't them at all. Well there you have it Posted on 08/07/07, 09:08 am |
