seroquelABOUT ME:
I joined up here to gather information, and read about other peoples experiences. I was originally diagnosed with major depression as a 17 yo. then after moving towns and being put on a course of several antidepressants, and having many doubts about my happy states being safe ones, i went to the doc again, as I was going up and down at a ridiculous speed. I was then diagnosed after seeing many doctors, with bipolar II (mixed states and rapid cycling) something wasn't right still. There was more than just that to it, I knew. I also started doing strange things that a diagnosis of bipolar just didn't cover. So, I quit my job and moved in with my partner,grew some balls and finally decided to see a regular pdoc for the first time. I got a few months off to clear my head and sort out my utterly chaotic brain, she told me I was showing symptoms of several things and tried along with me to figure out what it was. She gave me some seroquel, which i might add is fantastic! After getting to know my pdoc - which took quite a few months because of trust issues, I was able to finally disclose the entirety of my childhood (I spent 13 years being raped by my blood father and aprox3 1/2 years being raped my my half brother) after talking things through, and the emergence of several 'personalities' i was diagnosed (yet again with a different one) with complex-post-traumatic-stress-disorder. The bipolar I was diagnosed with earlier, has not been completely ruled out they cannot tell whether or not i have both , I also saw another doctor 4 days ago for a second opinion (recommended by my current pdoc) who was an expert in dissociative disorders, who said he would like to also add the diagnosis of 'Dissociative Identity Disorder' - formerly known as multiple personalities, this doctor is also unable to rule out bipolar. So at the moment i am trying my best to fight off the personalities that want to kill people, ponder as to why the justice system fails to put rapist pedophiles in jail, trying not to get so depressed I want to die, and trying not to spend my money and fuck things up on my highs. enjoying the ride. yay.PHOTOS:
