Hi, My name is Ankia,

I am new here to the depression board on this site, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I am 32 years old, single mom to three kids. I have been hanging out on PC on the Bipolar, schizophrenia and psychosis boards mostly.

I have just been on a two and a half month manic ride which recently threw me off into depression. I have been diagnosed as Bipolar 1 with rapid cycling since age 17.

I thought I would join you's here as I am not doing very well and I am expecting this to be a very rocky ride. I am really tired and worn out from the mania and psychosis and I don't really feel like I have much fight left in me for this round of depression.

I hope to get to know some of you and looking forward to meeting you, and hopefully learning some new tricks, and helping out where I can.

Thanks,
Anika

As depression is a main feature of my PTSD symptoms. I do my darnedest to stick with a daily routine "no matter what".

Posting here, giving support as well as receiving support, venting, processing all that cancan help. It has helped me to be on a BB forum like this one in the past. So I'm here giving you the acknowledgement that with plenty of hope, thing might get better. I do hope they will for you.

Hi Anika,

Whilst I have not experienced manic episodes, I have lived and breathed depression for a very very long time. The older I get the more I realise that
I have to try to acknowledge the little achievements in my life - like waking up and trying to get through the day. At the moment I am a little better than usual, but by no means am I well and functional. But I am able to recognise the ok moments, and for this I am very grateful. I treasure my children who are unconditional with their love. Also my dogs. They know when I need a snuggle.

I sincerely wish you some ok moments, and I hope you can feel them. Be kind to yourself. Nourish your heart with love. Pick yourself a flower.

I care.

I'm here if you want to chat.

zygo
