I live in an apartment with my partner, and our son. My time is filled with trying to be a good partner, mother, managing our household needs, and managing my mental illness. I like sci-fi tv & books, video games, and trying to learn the guitar. Love listening to music. Would like to one day feel stable enough to help others who have been through similar struggles with poverty, homelessness, and mental illness.

Just got a new 2GB MP3 player as an early b-day gift from my family, and I loaded it up with a zillion songs tonight. I'm so happy. My last one broke, and it used batteries. This one has a lithium battery that charges by USB. YAY!

I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2005 after a handful of almost-but-not-quite diagnoses. The docs tell me that I have some symptoms that sound like mild schizophreia. Ugh, I hate to think about it. I take meds, and struggle with my symptoms although the meds do help. My family life helps keep me together, and my partner and son are very supportive.
My son seems to have AS. He has very classic signs as a baby/toddler/young child. I struggle with his schools, doctors, therapits, and family members in order to get them to understand his limitations while understanding that his challenge doesn't change his high intelligence. I wish I knew more about how to help him. I have worked hard to help him overcome obstacles but worry about how it will be when I can't hover over him.
I have been homeless more than once. Shelters, missions, encampments, and transitional programs. Sleeping in a car, sleeping in a park. I've done a little of it all, it seems. I am blessed with a home and family right now, but I still want to be an activist for change, because FAR TOO little is being done to help people.
Looking back, I think I have had this since my teens, but it got worse and I got a dx in 2/08. Before I got any help for it, I was in excruciating pain just trying to step down off of the bus.
I'm a caucasian and Native, (Haudenosaunee) lesbian. My wife and I have been together 3 years. Few people seem to click as deeply as we do with each other. We have two sons, one is her birth son age 20, and the other is my birth son, age 14. We don't believe in pretending that the racism isn't there. We wanna speak out because the pain will only get worse otherwise.
In love with a wonderful woman. We have been together for 3 years now, and I am so happy to be with her. Even when I'm mad at her, I feel so blessed to be with her.
I come from a family where we have ALWAYS educated our kids at home, even if they were going to school. Now we are considering moving, and if we do, homeschooling will be our only option. Looking forward to it, but will need help at the same time.
abused by grandmother at age 5, abused by stepdad from ages 3 to 24. IDK, too much to mention. More than I WANT to, LOL. Trying to not let it all control me, that's the thing.
I'm a lesbian in a committed relationship. We have two sons, one of who is also gay & active with PFLAG himself.
To speak out.
