Long term childhod trauma
Hi, I am new here. Due to long term childhood trauma I am diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder, dissociative disorder, panic/anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive personality disorder and in the last 2 months I have been experiencing psychosis on nearly daily basis. I have a good support network in place and I try to keep busy. I am here because I see the forums as a place to come and feel included and be able to share experiences.

I now have my bicycle where I live, so that is happening,making a lobster pot for a friend. I will start wood carving when I have money for the tools. Fishing, reading, study up till the psychosis, which sent me into a spiral. Saw your ad on the NRL and thought I would check it out.

Hi @pbfromippy,
Welcome to the Forums! I just want to point out this thread, whichsome people who are looking to connect with others on here. In that thread, you will find @HellonWheels also has a diagnosis of bipolar. @Queenie has major depression depression and schizophrenia, and a few others. We tend not to go by diagnosis on here, as we find that there seems to be some common issues experienced by people living with mental illness.
Please take a look around. If you're just wanting to chill out and chat to others check out the Night Shift thread, which where members just hang out and chat.
