    About Me

    Was formerly diagnosed as Bipola sufferer but new-diagnosis is 'emotional disorder' (whatever that is!)OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder, mild self-harmer, single mum. Struggling to start up own business, but working hard on it.

    Interests

    Love reading horror books, anything weird and unusual. I write, novels and poems, I sketch, and just started to learn the guitar (any tips and suggestions on that more than welcome!)I love listening to music, all kinds but mostly rock. I love anything to do with mysticism and the paranormal.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Self diagnosed with rapid-cycling bipolar. Different shrinks tell me different things, some agree with my diagnosis, some disagree (I'm venting a little here, I know). Still trying to figure it all out, but until they all agree on everything it's not easy to get the advice and support I need.

    • Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      Had OCD since early childhood, gets a lot worse when stressed. Eased off after CBT treatment - although not disappeared, but at least to a level I can cope with (more or less)

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Lucky to find a good shrink who listened, and who was able to push me past my comfort level. Still have bad times when stressed, but on whole big success.
    • Open Shyness

      Diagnosed as having Social Anxiety Disorder (among the other many things!). CBT treatment used for this as well as OCD, and has improved slightly - although I still find it loads easier to type on a computer than talk to people face to face!

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Has improved it a little, but I still need to do loads more to help myself.
    • Open Single Parenting

      Single mum of one. On own for 3 and a half years, divorced for 6 months.
