It was so easy to talk and be honest and not feel judged or shameful or guilty and actually be UNDERSTOOd with these guys.

Looking to move out of state, probably to mass where there are ****ing programs and trains n **** for trauma therapy.
@MuddyBoots very glad to hear that! I also thought you had DID based on your posts.

I have a friend with a very hard case of bipolar II. It ultimately got taken care of back when he was in Boston MASS by a doctor who was willing to experiment with unusual drug combos. My friend now works full time remotely and has only mild depressive waves and those, rarely.
