Diagnosed 15 Years Ago And I Still Have Problems

[Carramia]

Thanks to my genetic donors lack of parenting skills and astonishing abilities to ingest more drugs than are legally possible I spent most of my child hood in foster homes and group homes. Been out now for almost 15 years. I forget a lot of the times that I have an illness and for the life of me can't figure out why I'm crying over something as silly as spilled milk. It took me a long time to get past the general depression. I still have problems dealing with stress in general. I want to talk to my doctor about medication to help calm me down when things get over whelming. I have problems with keeping relationships. I live by my self which is getting to be really boring and yet it's hard finding a person I can stand to be around for any pro longed period of time. Recently started dating a guy with military induced PTSD and I wonder if that's really the best idea for me. I'm tired of running away from everything to protect my feelings just as much as I am tired of always feeling hurt. I know isolation isn't good and yet it is really hard to find a person to go out with. I want help.
