Hello

For 46 years I was known within the community in which I live and work as a being a compasionate, generous person with high principles and moral values.

In 2010 I became very unwell - severe depression, paranoia, psychotic periods. In the years that followed I became irrational and often reacted on impulse with little or no thought as to the consequences.

My behavior and thoughts at times since 2010 have been totally out of character.

I often ask the question :-

Is it the illness that caused what appears to be a different personality to that of the previous 46 years ?

Is the real me the person I was before becoming ill or the person afterwards ?
