Today I took the first step into taking care of myself. I went to my city's community group therapy. It was wonderful and I hope others check out their community's group therapy. There was all sorts of people and they all have mood disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar, and schizophrenia. They

I am still active but have a couple of war wounds with associated conditions that have slowed me down as I grow older. I am struggling to accept the devastating diagnoses.

My boss is off on hols next Monday and wants to pop by to see me which is incredibly sweet but made me feel self conscious about how shit I look, grey, gaunt and the daggy clothes I am wearing so as to not rub up my surgical wounds.

I be been suffering for almost 8 yrs now and it seems like my symptoms are always changing.
