Hi. It sounds like you've been through a lot, and it's wonderful that you've found a treatment that works for you! And also that you've decided that some things are just personality traits and neither good nor bad. Self acceptance!
It's a bit quiet right now on Social, although that could change at any time. So don't take it personally if there isn't a lot of activity. Sometimes it just seems that everyone takes breaks at the same time.
You know, I think it would be nice if there was a separate board for bios. So that newcomers could come and get a snapshot of everyone. But to be honest, how I would describe myself would probably change from month to month, never mind year to year.
But I'm Dinah. I have more trouble with anxiety disorders than mood disorders, but am officially diagnosed with OCD and cyclothymia, with probably some assorted personality disorders (though they're awfully cagey on Axis II). :) I've found medication thus far to be very disappointing, as medications that help one symptom invariably aggravate another. So you'll see me far more often on Psychological Babble than the medication board.
