I've made a couple threads on here but it looks like this is where ppl post more.

Let me introduce myself. I have BP 1, ptsd, panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

I suffer from really bad anxiety and I'm going to start working with my therapist using cbt for anxiety. I have a schizophrenic. Son who is 28 and lives in a group home. If you want to know more about that you can find the thread I made on him called my son.

My sister had a stroke 4 months ago and that's stressful. She has a tumor in her brain and at the bottom of her spine. 3 days before the surgery she had the stroke. Tumors run in our family. My mom had one my other sister had one and my son has one on his brain but so far it's not causing any problems.

I have lymphedema from sitting up sleeping. I had a really big wound but it took 2 years to get rid of. We'll one came back and I'm going to be going to the wound clinic 1 time a week. With the big one I had to use compression 4 layer wraps 3 times a week and I had in home nurses come out and change it 3 times a week and I would just go to the wound clinic every 2 weeks. They basically told the nurses what supplies to order and directions on what to do.

In2011 I had a very scary psychotic break. I was 36. I knew I had BP but I didn't want to give up my hypos. I would go into a deep dark depression every winter and when spring would come I would start projects, bake all the time, get a whole bunch of toys for my son. I would also get hypersexual and inge drink.

I've had a couple psych nurses lead me down the wrong path so I strted just becoming my own psychiatrist. I ended up not being able to sleep even taking 30 mgs of Zyprexa along with a ton of sedating meds. My psychiatrist wouldn't help so I ended up in the hospital. It had been 7 years bc my last experience was horrible. They ended up doing a 51 50 on me bc I was clearly in a mixed episode. I'm better now except for the anxiety.

So I'm hoping that I'll be able to get and give support
