I've been recently diagnosed by my trauma specialist counselor with Bipolar Disorder NOS. I can't say I'm surprised at all. I've been on a mood stabilizer for several months and its changed my life. I'm just wondering... Anyone know how the two disorders can affect each other? Or is Bipolar...

I recently left my very abusive and psychopathic boyfriend. It was hard as hell because we were so in love with each other, but I can't be with someone so disgustingly corrupt. I have my ESA cats and a few friends. However, I've learned I need to accept being alone in this world. I have no...

I got rejected for SSDI in a different state for a second time. :( They keep finding me significantly disabled but not disabled enough to keep me from working a minimum wage job... Ironic the SSDI payments are more than what I could make working full time at minimum wage. What kind of jobs...

My first real dissociative episode was about all of the awful things my father had said to me. Then, I got another really horrible one triggered by something small while laying in the dark in bed with my boyfriend. I thought my bf was my dad and I was in sexual danger, but 25% of me was still...

I've been trying desperately to find a dog I can use as a service dog so I can take it to school with me, but either I get a dog that's not a good fit or I wait 1-2 years to get maybe get a service dog grant. I start school in August and waiting that long for a service dog defeats the purpose...

After 29 years of extensive trauma of all kinds, I cracked one day and ended up in the hospital... twice. But it ended up being incredibly good for me. I'm on Zoloft 100mg, Buspar 20mg and Risperdal 0.25mg. For the last 14 years, my body was on such bad overdrive that I developed food...

Around 8 years ago I went through something that was so traumatic, I remember almost nothing from the entire year. I had a few faint memories of things... Like this cat I really liked, a couple incidents of abuse, walking somewhere and where I worked. I had no idea how much I didn't know until...
