as people know by now i have a lot of free time on my hands i post here every day and this is one of my purpouses i found out as i enjoy it very much, i've learned i'm not alone anymore in my struggle with mental illness, and give and take advice from insperation on this site. i am not shy about my illness anymore, now knowing there are alot of people with similiar problems. i hope i've helped people they have overwhelmingly helped me even if i'm just reading their stories. i don't worry about the stigma with mental illness anymore either, things have changed since i was first hospitalized after a head injury, it used to be so hard to even admit i had a problem. this site was found for me by my husband and he even likes the way i can communicate now in a new way, it's easier than face to face as i have a loss for words in conversation, and writing is much easier.
