| A little about me: | I was diagnosed with Bipolar in 2006 after a significant manic episode and was hospitalised for 5 weeks. I went through a difficult 12 months following my diagnosis, battling depression and being homeless. I returned to study in 2008 and completed a Certificate in Nursing. In 2009 I began working in a mental health facility and a held this position with alot of hard work and determination. Things began to go backwards in 2010 following a change in medication. By the beginning of 2011, I walked away from being a nurse and moved back to my home state. Since then I have struggled with anxiety and depression. I am lucky however that I have settled into a place of my own. Having my own place has been a long term goal and I like to have my own privacy. The down side is dealing with loneliness and isolation. These are areas of my life I am keen to improve. I would also like to return to study in the future. Recently I was diagnosed with ADHD and PTSD. These illnesses do not define me as a person and I am a big believer in hope and perseverance. Thank you for reading if you have made it this far. We are all on a journey and should never give up no matter how dark and scary things may get. MDJ continues to help me through a very difficult time in my life. Do reach out and ask for help. There is no shame in it and a little support can go a long way to helping one recover. |

My Diary
New Beginnings
My struggle with Bipolar is about to begin a new chapter. I want to be able share and vent about things in my daily life and not keep everything bottled up. I feel that this is a good time to start a diary. I am somewhat excited about the future, though I remain cautious and frightened.
