Hey everyone. I've been looking through and reading everyone's threads on this forum for quite awhile now. They've helped me some. I was always hesitant to make an account because I have severe anxiety even over the internet, lol.

I'm 24. People call me Cherry. I'm dealing with bipolar 1 schizoaffective, OCD, panic disorder, general anxiety, and a bit of PTSD.

I was misdiagnosed with depression at like 16, but then had a breakdown resulting in psychosis and here I am now with all these lovely dx's.

I've been in and out of hospitals quite a lot.

I don't really leave my house or have much of a life now. I barely graduated high school a little while ago.

If I feel comfortable I might try posting on here for advice or try to help if I can! I don't have as much experience as some, but still.

Right now I'm not doing too great, which is why I decided to finally join. I have money and doctor issues so it's been hard getting anything fixed up lately. I haven't been full blown manic since July. I had been I guess at my "baseline" for awhile. But now I'm starting to feel it all coming down again. I'm extremely depressed and everything is going downhill. I'm trying to manage but nothing is helping.

I try to stay distracted by watching tv or just sleeping all day.

Anyways, that's me! lol
