A Vet's Story.......I was diagnosed as bipolar after returning from Iraq.
My daughter came home pregnant when she was finally diagnosed with schizophrenia. We became guardians, later adopting her first and now second son.
I am proud of my mother who is 80 years old. Nearly 40 years ago, my mother was diagnosed as manic depressive (bipolar).
A Wife's Story...Many of us dreamed of the day we would meet "the one". We dreamed of all the fun times we would have and how everything would be perfect. Well, life isn't perfect. I met "the one" in high school, a wonderful, kind, and genuine man.
If I can recover, there is hope for anyone!! I have been diagnosed (in the past) with an eating disorder, social anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, and depression.
My daughter was born with colic and reflux. It wasn't until she was 6 months old that I admitted I had post partum depression.
When I walked into the doctor’s office on May 9th, 2011, I wasn’t expecting to be diagnosed with unintentional post-traumatic stress disorder.
This is the first time in my adult life that I have felt like myself, and not had the sense that something was terribly wrong. Bipolar disorder was what was terribly wrong. My brain cycled between extremes for years.
I'm a 22 year old Florida resident. Florida is a gorgeous place - beautiful beaches and weather..... but it's hard to enjoy the beauty of nature sometimes if you have mental health problems.
My name is Angela...and I am a suicide survivor. Unfortunately, my sister was a victim of suicide at the age of 19...she was (and still is) my best friend, by rock, and my strength. The day that my sister took her life, I felt as if she had taken mine too. Today I am taking a step to get it back, and to keep her memory alive by helping others.
