Well, when I was 5 and I fell backwards off a swing. I had to go to the hospital and they actually had to strap me down to the crib. Then they stuck a huge plastic dome over the top because I was being so destructive.
I started therapy at 6, but was too out of control for the T so that stopped.
Then I got sent away at 12 to group homes and foster homes as I was uncontrollable.

Just about 2 years ago I found out I am Bipolar.... Soooo....my whole life.
