Hey!

I was diagnosed bipolar 1 with paranoia and what I call "the voices" in 2010 and then schizoffactive in 2013, I'm highly functioning and was a receptionist/office admin until I got worse in 2013. Now I work in a factory...it's good but not the same.

I get paranoia, delusions and have 6 voices which communicate to me in my head...it's sometimes very busy up there which makes it hard to concentrate.

I have also struggled with my illness since I was 14-ish.

My diagnoses was a struggle as well. My ex-husband decided that he didn't want a wife with a mental illness and rather than break up with me he wanted to save face so decided to abuse me to get me to leave....that didn't end well when I tried to end my life...

I still have my days where I wonder what it would be like if I didn't have it, but as my wonderful (and also ill) bf pointed out, then I probably wouldn't be with him, so silver lining
