I joined this board sons ago but rarely post. I have bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder as well as anxiety. I usually stay on the bipolar board as it is more active but of late has been rather dead. So I came back here to be supportive and maybe get support. I just finished a two and a half week nurse aide training program and battled very high anxiety but am proud to say I finished top in my class. 
about me. I am29 years old. I am the second of five natural siblings and two step siblings who I grew up with. I am the last one still living at home. I have two of my own dogs, Rocket a pit I'll who is not yet one, and Annie my pug who is 12. I have two dog brothers and two cat brothers. I have an amazing family and church family who are my rocks. 
I lost a great job in August due to taking leave after a suicide attempt. My current job is fulfilling but I barely get 10 hours a week. Though I am also on disability I do not make enough to live on so my parents help me a bit which I am very grateful for. I am very close to my three natural sisters but not my brother. Not that we don't get along he just doesn't come around. I love them all dearly. 
Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself and say hello.
