Welcome and sorry u are having to deal with the, at times, nightmare many of us have been surviving for years! It certainly has been a bumpy and arduous journey... Your description of "finding the ground" - in my experience the ground moves around on me, but I get to touch it more now that I am 1) med compliant; 2) trying really hard to stay sober; 3) have a good psychiatrist and 4) a great therapist to help me cope... Oh and 5) willingness- willingness to accept this is a lifelong process needing care and treatment and a willingness to know its part of me - but it's NOT ME... It's just one part that contributes to the definition of me (that took a while to get to) sometimes I relapse into the obsessiveness of my illness (usually in depressive episodes)- this site helps me keep hope and remember that thinking is skewed... I wish you the best on your journey which I hope continues long and happy... Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

"Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with."
