I am 30 y/o female and have been struggling with anxiety, depression and substance abuse since my teens. I have been in a relationship with someone since I was 16 years old so I am just getting to know myself, if that makes any sense at all. I was going to get married last October (2012) but entered what I am recently realizing was a manic episode and my then fiance and I broke up. This manic episode ended in January (2013) and I've been in a depressive state since then. I was just recently hospitalized and received my diagnosis, also put on a slew of meds (which I will probably get into on a different thread).
Happy to be here. I am in an area where the nearest support group is about an hour here so I'm looking forward to hopefully getting to know some like minded people on this site.

Welcome! Thanks for sharing your story... I think you'll really like it here. I've been posting for a month or so and I really like the community here. It's nice to share thoughts and feelings with a group of people who have probably felt the same way at one point.

Welcome GrayGray! I've been on here about a month or so & it has helped so much! I've had so many "me too" moments, where I could relate to what people were thinking, experiencing & sharing. It makes me feel less alone.
You've been through a lot in the last few months. I'm glad you found PC.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
