Hi, I'm new to this group. I've had severe major depression (and suspected bipolar II) all my life and years of treatment with meds and psychotherapy with good adjustment. But I went through a serious of traumas from about 2003-2007, and came out the other end with diagnoses of Bipolar II, PTSD, Panic Attacks, and Alcoholism (in recovery since 3/21/07). You could have knocked me over with a feather with the diagnosis of PTSD!!! But it was true, I had all the symptoms of PTSD.... And I still do, even though I've made improvement with the bipolar and panic attacks and I am in recovery for alcoholism. So, this is why I've joined this group. I'm truly a student here. I hope to learn from all of you.
