Hi,everyone,I'm new to this (or any other)forum so just wanted to introduce myself.I've had many year's experience with severe mental illness but no experience with direct contact with those who actually "walk the walk" so I'm looking forward to being able to share some reality and maybe be of some comfort along the way.I am the survivor of bipolar disorder,borderline personality disorder,disassociative disorder and panic disorder.Some of these are,of course,related to another but, the big picture is that any one day holds many surprises.I know how vulnerable I can be even though I am well experienced in meds,hospitalization,and social stigma etc.I hope to be of some supprt to those who may be less experienced and to connect with those who can encourage me.Look forward to meeting you.Jill.
