Last night I had a dream where I was on a Pride march which doubled as a pro- choice march. Then I traveled to Lapland and ended up walking naked in midnight through the snowy streets; I went behind a building and got dressed into a shirt and my dress that had been upcycled into a skirt ( Read more... )

I see on your profile page you are a leukaemia survivor ♥ Is this related to having a care worker? I don't mean to be nosy but I'm curious of course :)

I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar, PTSD, and borderline disorder, along with the depression and anxiety.

Okay when I saw delusions I suspected that--my stepbrother was diagnosed schizophrenic (along with other ailments) over 30 years ago...it was terrible for so long, but he's really got it together now (stays on his meds, has a supportive longtime girlfriend etc.) so please never lose hope *hugs*

I applaud you for doing all these things you're doing for yourself ♥ You are obviously a fighter and I'm glad we met.

And when I went off about Big Pharma? It's people in your position I was considering--people like me who do NOT have the first four conditions who mention in your last sentence should maybe just try natural remedies because our brains are balanced enough to do that on their own. What you've told me obviously warrants meds and I apologize if I seemed disrespectful in previous comments in this regard. I was never judging the people who need it and absolutely judging those who don't but still pop Xanax and brain relaxers when they should be going for a walk and eating right (and those people think they aren't drug addicts! ...

It's okay sweetie, I understand :3 The nice thing is that the meds I take help me cope with reality, so I can go for walks and eat right.
