    • About Me

      Hi, a bit about me, well to keep a long story short, I have been dx with bipolar disorder after I had an number of harrowing suicide attempts that left me on life support in the past 12 months. I started rapid cycling for one year before falling into a deep depression which was to last 18 months. After being discharged home without any follow up care from my local hospital and dismissed as "attention seeking" and "personality disordered". I finally found someone who dx me properly with bipolar mixed state. I am now on Abilify which has changed my life and have made an amazing recovery. I still have to deal with the emotional backwash from the way I was treated in hospital and my suicide attempts.
