Hey! It's awesome to finally see a group for life's broken, bent, twisted, or otherwise damaged individuals of whom I have been a member most of my life ANYWAY. I have two or three main diagnosis, with varrying degrees of severity, depending on which doc you should ask. Depression and PTSD, hold overs from being "raised" by my mother, and also Aspergers.
Wow... This group is just in time... there are so many out there with mental issues, that it's driving me MENTAL! And I'm talking about the ones with political issues.. LOL
This group was made for me! Finally i can talk to ppl about my disease and not get frowned upon! I have had this disorder that is called CID, which means: Censory Integrated Disorder,and it means that my censory system is all out of whack. It is incurable, but can be improved upon. It personally effected my motor skills and how i learn things, but nobody did or attacks me about it today, so im safe there. Not very many people can survive with this disease, so i am thankful that i am one who did.
My son's father was bipolar III with schizophrenic tendencies. The worst part was knowing that life was hell, either on or off the meds. Nothing helped. My heart goes out to all who suffer in that way.
Thanks for inviting me. I have panic disorder with Agoraphobia, fear of places or going out. Sometimes it comes and goes. Most of my family don't understand it and ignore how I suffer from it. The worst I have lived alone so much without seeing them. I have taken anxiety medication for many years which does work but very addictive. I have to have the meds to go out or function. On top of that my eldest son has Bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. I was his sole care taker for many years. He is a good person and was doing so good for many years. In the past he was in and out of hospitals which took up much of my life. The problem with his disorder he can be unpredictable. He took off lost and homeless almost in the past. I got him back on his feet, he graduated college and we lived in a two bedroom apt. for ten years together, putting our money together. He lived with me and his step- father but his step- father did not want to be bothered anymore, we got divorced. His real father just left in 1984. Now my son took off April 17th, leaving me stranded. He decided to call his sister who was never involved in his care and believes what he tells her against me. He turned on me. My family believe what he says. My son and I put our money together; when he ...

My family believe what he says. My son and I put our money together; when he took off I had to leave the apt. am broke; moved into a cheaper place and might have to sell my car. He just left his parrot also. Now my family think I did something wrong and won't talk to me or help me. They were not around to help me with their brother when he was really very sick. All this is hell for me.
Seriously.... So we can direct them to a place where they can seek help.
Thanks.
