I'm really quite new here...I see we are supposed to introduce ourselves, so here's my attempt...

I'm eighteen, and I'm an art major...
I've been dealing with mental health issues for about 4 and a half years. Through out this time I've been diagnosed with quite a list of things...
Severe clinical depression/bi-polar
Social Anxiety Disorder
OCD
psychosis-result of depression
Eating disorder-They just said: S.O. for "some other" because they don't know what it is.
Season depression (I dont' think this is right at all)
Skitzo Affective Disorder..(I dont' think that was right ever)
Been hospitalized a few times...
Basically I've never been a text book case...I'm doing better than I have been in the past, but I still deffinately am struggling. My treatment is a combination of talk therapy and medications...
Basically I'm here to gain new pespectives...help myself and others.
I'm really sorry this introduction is crappy...
Anyway, feel free to ask me anything, I'm a very open person. Take care. <font color="blue"> </font>

Welcome Lisa!!!

I think we met before on the schizophrenia board. I'm so glad you're here !!!! This is a great place with lots of open people ready to help or just lend an ear.

Hope you stick around and hang out with us.

Take Care.
Kimberly.

Lisa, no one is a text book case. We are all individuals and we all cope the best way we can. This place is great. I disappear often because I sometimes need to pull away from people but when I come back, I am always greeted with love and respect. THat doesn't happen often in the real world so this place has been a great comfort to me.

I hope you feel comfortable here and welcome!

Hi Lisa,
Welcome to our boards. I hope that we can perhaps provide some insight onto what is happening to you by helping you realize that you are not alone.

Stay strong and welcome again,
Jessica
