Dethas wanders by

Hi everyone,

well, where do I start lol? I'm 29, married and also living with my girlfriend. I live in Birmingham in the UK.

I am diagnosed with bipolar II and all the lovely things that come with that. A touch of OCD, a smidge of paranoia, hallucinations (Visions as I like to call them!) audio hallucinations, sleep disorders and an eating disorder.

Yes you got it - I'm a mess!

However, after years struggling undiagnosed and diagnosed, unmedicated and medicated, I'm pretty philosophical about my life. My disorders have made me who I am, have given me my life to lead and have made me a stronger person. They still do make me stronger every time I beat an episode down and come out standing up (or crawling lol)

Anyway, I didn't mean to write an essay as my intro, so I'll just look forward to seeing everyone around the boards and getting to know everyone!

Hi, Dethas! Welcome!

Thank you for sharing a little about yourself! Don't mind the lengthiness...it's all about getting to know one another! I'm sorry for your struggles...but hopefully, at the very least, you can find a shoulder to lean on and willing ear to listen. Blessings.
