MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

A little about me: I'm 38, and have had bipolar and schizophrenia since at least age 13, if not earlier. I can look back on childhood things and see a lot of incidents that were attributable to both. Unfortunately, my stepfather didn't believe in mental illness and told me that I was "just trying to get attention".

As a result, it took 23 more years before I finally got diagnosed again, and started treatment.

Sadly, I'm nowhere close to stable, and have also been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, which amplifies the bp considerably.

I'm working toward getting better, and one day I hope to be back there, and I'm also hoping to go back to school in the interim.

MDJ has been a Godsend for me. I've made a bunch of new friends, and a few new enemies, as well. I'm able to be myself here, my whole self, without having to censor myself as in the "real world".
