:loopy: Good Morning, everyone,
I am new to this forum and would like to introduce myself. I am male... from New Jersey, USA... I am a 29 year old widower... I have PTSD, Bipolar, and OCD. I am on four different meds:pills: for my disorders. I have had all of these disorders since I was 11 years old, and I've been on meds since I was 14 years old. I started with Prozac and made my way through most of the medications out there. I have been in and out of voluntary and involuntary(committed) hospitals. I have been committed twice (once to the State Psych Hospital...not very fun). I have recently found out that along with the Bipolar Disorder and OCD, I have been experiencing symptoms of PTSD all these years, but I did not know what PTSD was or that I had it!! I will disclose more about the traumatic events that precipitated my PTSD as I get to know everyone and feel more comfortable... for now I will just get to know everybody, and learn more about PTSD (I know a little bit from what my Doctor told me). I hope you will all welcome me here because I need this forum to help me (along with meds and therapy).
Thank You, everybody,
Josh77
