About Me

Where to start? Single mom with two grown sons ages 26 and 21. I live with Daniel, my youngest and he has been terrific and understanding my illness but I ensure he is not my caretaker. I have been depressed since I was 17 and on meds since then, self medicated with heroin and have been on methadone for 10 years. Have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder but they aren't sure. I don't care what name they catagorize me in but I'm non functional and am on social assistance. Had back operation 4 years ago and it wasn't successful therefore dillaudid was added to the list! I'm waiting to see a phycopharmacologist in the upcomming weeks. I really need this support group.
