    • About Me

      I am bi polar with a delusional disorder. As a result I suffer anxiety and depression. Was sexually abused as a child which can't help matters. I've had the theraphy, the shit has hit the fan and now my life is much better. Living from day to day.

    • Interests

      I am an old gal now, but I've been married to the same gorgeous husband for twenty seven years and have one grown up daughter. I like art, music, the cinema and go most weeks. I love to walk by the sea. Scream and shout a little if the mood takes me. But I love being in bed too, bed is the one place where I can feel completely safe. Oh and I loves cricket and chocolate in that order.

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      Well I was abused from age of seven. Have to say this ruined my early life as I could not talk to anyone from then on about anything the shame was too great. Spent ten years in Therapy when my daughter was born as I couldn't let this happen to her. Had nothing to do with family for years until I was addmitted to hospital with what turned out to be Bipolar.

    • Open Anxiety

      Just recently i have started to suffer from anxiety....keep thinking the worst is going to happen. It's a horrible feeling and I just want to stop indoors and avoid doing anything. But I have to go to work. Doctor has given me Diazepam one to be taken daily and it seems to work so far.

      Treatments

    • Open Shyness

      Although I am now into middle age, sexual abuse as a child rendered me almost an outcast. I just couldn't open my mouth for fear of saying the wrong thing. And I would blush up anyways. As a result I have only a couple of close friends which is fine as they do most of the talking and I most of the listening, that's how I manage, that's how I've always managed. I am married to a wonderful man who is the life and soul of any party he graces. And I have one beautiful daughter.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

    • Open Schizophrenia

      four times I have been sectioned for delusional disorder. It was a time in my life when I thought I was someone worth hunting down, worth 24 7 media coverage, worth the trouble. It was a time in my life when I felt alive if on the edge. Then came the medication and the return to the quiet life, the lack of persona and any kind of zest for life....Oh how I long to be just a little of the me I once was.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      It works in as much as it dulls the brain enough to keep me sane.
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
    • Open Incest Survivors

      Sexually abused by my own father and from the age of seven till I was married. I know it's hard to believe, but such was his control over me that I had no means of defence and no voice to tell with. Oh yeah I told my mum alright when I was seven and that got me a huge beating and a liar label that's lasted all my life to date. Hey then I got pregnant and was having no more of that shit so I took a knife to him and he cowered away calling me mad. And I was quite mad and wild growing up.

    • Open Loneliness

      I am an incest survivor and ever since I was a child I've felt alone. I am married now with a gorgeous daughter but still feel that awful emptiness from time to time.
