Hi everyone,
A freind of mine told me about this website. I wish this kind of thing were here 18 years ago when I was first diagnosed. Bipolar disease and depression runs on both sides of my family. I also have lived with PTSD and DID from child sexual abuse. It's been a long road to recovery, but I am happy to say I have been mostly stable for about 9 years now. In the 1990's I went through more hospitalizations than I can remember, many very lethal suicide attempts, and ECT treatments. I truly feel I managed to miraculously survive it all for a reason. I have found balance in my life and happiness for the most part, but it wasn't easy and it still offers difficult times now and again. But anyhow, I'm here to help. Love,  camelotsgirl

My mania has brought creativity and success in my field of work along with some bad choices and financial troubles. More good than bad, and it was through my trouble that my family and I have bonded. My anxiety has hurt my social life, and forming relationships. However that seems to be getting better every day. My depression has taken me to the point of no return, in which I have survived. My depression has also brought intense introspection as well as a sense of loss. Which has made me empathetic to others. Everything that I am has been influenced by my disorder. The lives that I have touched sharing my stories are countless. The mistakes I made taught my "normal" siblings to make better choices. Each one of is a light for others. So yes there is a bright side. Even when I lose sight of it myself.
