So this post is going to be quick and to the point. I've been dealing with the mental health system for about 7 years on and off now...and after a few yrs off meds away from therapy ...i started going back, on my own free will and i finally have a correct diagnosis...all those years... my mom was controlling my treatment...because i was a minor..and she could. i'm 21, and i'm just getting on track. Got diagnosed with what the doctors were trying to tell her i had at 14... and 16, and 17...(bipolar II) but she denied. to make a HORRIBLY long story short..i'm going to therapy on my own now, she has no idea i'm on meds again. yet i'm living in her house still. SO...here i am..looking for a little support because the internet is the only place i know how to get it...thanks for your time...just introducing myself. I'm sure I'll be back to complain some more another time :)

thanks donna. I just realized I'm never going to be able to come to the scheduled chat on here because i work Mon-Fri from around dinner time until 12am. So it looks like its just the boards for me... lol it's okay though, I've signed up on healthyplace.com and webmd.com too! lol I'm sure i'll find tons of other places too!! plenty of options out there

Hey there! Welcome...so sorry I wasn't around to talk to you sooner...I'm really glad you're here...I hope you'll stick around!!!

I'm really proud of you for getting the treatment YOU DESERVE on your own! That's really a very awesome thing to do and you should be very proud of your strength.
