About Me

I\'m a 17 year old girl. I have been suffering from mental illness for over 6 years now including 4 mental health hospitalizations, which in total add up to over 6 months. Although at first I had voluntarily gone into hospital, the day I was admitted I was changed to involuntary and was placed on an Involuntary Treatment Order, ITO. Apparently this was due to me being \'too unwell\' to make proper and clear decisions for myself. Long to be known I was at my highest admission weight for this first admission. I have had many \'labels\' and diagnoses made on me, but now it has been more sorted and have been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa, OCD and Major Depression. Overtime I have obviously had my ups and downs, and my \'I am so over this all\' and \'why did this have to take over MY life?\' moments. But I have managed to stay out of hospital for over two months now. And am off my ITO (though I had never actually met or spoken to my new psychiatrist who actually took me off it, but anyway, hopefully this will be for the good and enable me to \'move on\' as much as I can from these horrible diseases, and not just be even more of a trigger to my anorexia to take over again in full ball because I have no one watching over me anymore or telling me what to do. Anyway, I am here to help anyone who is or knows someone who is going through a \'rough patch\' in there life, and I will try to help you out as much I can with all of my care and thoughts going out to you all :)
