Hello Mairead: Welcome to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit. I'm confident you will find many members here who will be able to relate to your struggle.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. There are many knowledgeable & caring members here. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
