hi all i'm new here. i diagnosed myself in 10th grade (1996) but it took until the end of 11th grade for the drs to figure it out. i've been seeing the same psychiatrist the whole time, and i need a new one; he specializes in kids. the issue is insurance. finally found a great therapist after years of not seeing one due to poor treatment. no stranger to the local mental hospitals.

took a while, but last october 29th, the day i got out of the hospital for the third time that year, i decided i needed to rethink my life. best decision i ever made. i'm so happy right now ☺ it's been a hard road i've traveled since 1996, but it's finally starting to look bright.
