MDJunction to me

MisaBlue01"MD Junction has been a safe haven for me. I have met so many caring and understanding people and i don't feel so alone anymore with my bipolar. I now know that others suffer as well and that we need each other for support. I hope that one day we can all learn to love and respect each other more and that no one will have to suffer anymore."

Sad Hi, my name is Natalia. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder type I, PTSD, Generalized anxiety disorder and ADHD. I have treatment resistance problems (taken to many different meds to even count). I have struggled with drug addiction for most of my adult life. And have lost almost all of the jobs I've ever had due to my mental health. I am hoping to find some support from members who have similar issues and are willing to share.

Hey Natalia. I am also bipolar and a coke addict...been clean almost 3 years but I still remember the cravings, the rush, and all that goes along with addiction. If you'd like to join dualdiagnosis, we'd like to have you there. Most of us in the group have some type of mental illness and some sort of past or present addiction. We'd love to have you there. Welcome to mdj!!!
