My journey

[Cyh8513]

Hi

Was diagnosed bi polar in my teens.

I later asked my psychiatrist what I was diagnosed with because I was hearing voices and having hallucinations. So now its bi polar with psychosis

Anyways started doing drugs at a young age I've since been sober for 16 years

Found out in school that it wasnt behavioral issues I was having I couldn't learn for junk so my parents got me tested and I have a severe learning disability. I'm basically a slow processor I cant intake information fast enough when you are talking to me.

I started smoking cigarettes at 13 until my late 20's and I have been smoke free for 9 years.

I'm here because i live by myself and i get really lonely. I'd love to make some new friends.

Hello that sounds like you've dealt with a lot of difficult things. To be sober for 16 years and smoke-free for 9 years is pretty amazing! Congratulations! Hope you are also able to find some local support. Maybe a support group of some sort? I'm looking for one myself.

I am an older person but if you ever want to talk message me and I'd be glad to lend an ear.

Hi ty

I do go to two support groups in my area.

I'll be a listening ear and friend to you as well.
