Things are getting better day by day..here is a bit of my story

At 24 I found myself in an abusive relationship. I had 2 kids with this guy. I was deeply spiritual/religious and when I left *Mike, I felt like my world was coming to an end.

I began my first bout with religious delusions. I thought od was trying to lead me to the right path. I started self-medicating with both marijuana and zoloft, as they both fueled my mania, thus, delusions and psychosis.

This went on for over two decades. Of course, the self-medication evolved into more.

Finally, I reached the point of severe paranoia along with the psychosis. I got into trouble with the law over something without criminal intent, but it was still criminal. i am now on probation. It sucks...but it has saved my life!
