    • About Me

      Erm... well im 19, some say with the mind of an older person, some say with the mind of a 3 year old. Was origionally diagnosed with depression/cyclothymia when i was 15... was then diagnosed with schizo affective bipolar last year... currently unmedicated because i cant even fucking afford food at the moment so cant afford a private doc, and waiting list on NHS is a long one... really trying to get my life back on track after all thats happened in the last 19 years... put it all behind me and make sure the next 19 years of my life are as good as the last years were bad!

    • Close Rape

      was gang raped 2yrs ago by 3 guys, thought i was going to die. It lasted around 6 hours but they beat me so bad that for a lot of it i was unconcious. I'm at a stage now where i can talk about it.

      Treatments

      here on DS is the best place i think, i still cant really talk to friends or family about it.
    • Close Eating Disorders

      It started when i was around 10/11 and got really out of control between age 15 - 17. I was anorexic and also started making myself sick when i was 15. Doc says i might not be able to have kids now which is heartbreaking. I have to be careful and really strict with myself so as not to slip back into it. I'm a healthy weight now, im currently 5ft 7" and around 8 and a half stone, i do miss bein skinny : (

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
