MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a second home. I visit daily to support and get supported. Everyone is so great here. The people are what make this site so
perfect. When someone says I helped them, I feel so good about myself. When
I am down, I come here to talk with my lovely friends. This is a great site
and I’ve come to love it and my friends here. Thank you for making such a
wonderful place to call home!" (Joy75)

Hi all. I am not new to MDJ but am new to this group. Not sure how or where to start to get to know you all. Just realize this: I am diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder, it's the rest of the family that is insane! Tongue

Arauna, welcome!

I suffer from anxiety and depression, but at least I realize and accept there is something a bit wrong in my life and it's obvious that you do, too. Having relatives or family members who have major problems and are in denial are a huge problem for me, too. In fact, I think there's a few of us in that same situation. I really liked your comment about the rest of the family.
