MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

Hi

Was diagnosed with Cyclothymia 3 months ago after battling for over 15 years. I knew that something was not 'quite right' with me but everyone thought I was just being silly and should just get on with it. Am struggling at the moment to get stable on medication, but I feel that there is at last a way forward for me.

Oh, this sounds so familiar! My partner has had a feeling that something is not 'right' for so many years and is yet to go to a doctor about it! He thinks it is just bad luck, his personality to over-think things, that he is just in a rut having faced some terrible problems in a variety of areas of his life. I wish I could help him get help, but I think he will be resentful if I push too hard.

There's nothing like the joy that comes from realising that there's actually a reason behind why everyone thinks you're so mad! Wink Hope it's all going well for you; I haven't personally tried meds, but fingers crossed that they get you settled down soon.
