MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

Hi everyone. I hate talking about myself, but I'm a 29 year old diagnosed with Bipolar 1 w/Borderline traits and General Anxiety disorder. I've been in and out of therapy and on and off meds since I was 15 years old, but I'm finally committed to treating my illness. Unfortunately, I'm having a bout of serious depression lately, only it's in the afternoon into evening. I'm generally fine in the morning (after taking the daily dose of Wellbutrin), but then it all seems to wear off and I get very depressed, feel worthless and depersonalize all afternoon. I feel that it's affecting my work.

But regardless of all that, I wanted to just stop by and say hello to everyone. You all seem like a very caring community.
