Hi there everyone.
I came across this forum while looking for some form of support/help with issues that have been with me since I was around thirteen or so (I'm 21 now).
Basically, I'm in a mess at the moment ~ in that I find with each effort I make to improve my situation, I seem to make it worse. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone?
I've had issues with self-harm and drug/alcohol abuse since thirteen, which have eventually led to depression and attempted suicide on three occasions. I have "good" days and "bad" days...just like anyone, I suppose. Today is a "good" day and as such, it seems that my sentances may actually make sense! (Believe me, you'll know if I'm having a "bad" day by the unintelligible rambling that will appear in my posts!)
I don't have a doctor at the moment, due to areas of incompetence that shined through in my last one. However, he did point out that I may very well be Bipolar. I know I need to get this checked out, but I'm not very trusting of others (something I will ask your patience for, but I'm sure others can relate.)
Anyway, I shan't "waffle" on any longer!
I'm glad I found you all ~ I feel reassured that I'm not alone in this. I look forward to getting to know you all at least a little better.
Skye
