Hi dueNorth,

Welcome to PC, this is a wonderful place to be. Mental health illness is nothing to be ashamed of. I'm sorry there are people in your life who don't understand what's going on. It is quite difficult when sometimes we don't understand ourselves. I have gained strength and confidence, as well as knowledge from our community. It has helped me to communicate with others more regarding my diagnoses.

Looking forward to seeing you around, and please PM me if you have any questions, or just wanna talk!

Take care,
Dee
