Sounds like a great idea!

Hi, I'm Nightsong, newly diagnosed with dependent and avoidant personality disorders, though I think I'm actually schizoid instead of avoidant.

So the new diagnosis is big, but I've been doing a lot of reading about personality disorders and have already learned so much about myself.

As a dependent I have a dilemma. I have physical issues (severe chronic migraines) and bipolar depression that have made it impossible to support myself. At 28, I've never worked full time or lived independently. I live with my elderly grandparents and do what I can around the house on my good days, paying for my own needs from a small government allowance. It's not enough to allow me to move out, but my grandparents are getting to the age where they're talking about moving to a seniors' home. Which leaves me wondering what to do from here.

So - there's what I'm dealing with right now. Hoping others will join in.
