Re: Do you have a mental illness? - October 12th 2011, 04:19 AM

I responded "yes" to the poll.

My current diagnoses are Bipolar II, A.D.H.D. combined types, and Borderline Traits.
Clarification of diagnosis is a goal of my current treatment.

I'm on an S.S.R.I. for the first time and if that works how it's supposed to, then I think the Bipolar diagnosis will be changed.

But also, my entire diagnosis may be changed as we've recently discovered there is still noticeable damage to my left frontal lobe from a head injury I had as a ten year old - with this is mind, a lot of my symptoms could be potentially re-classified as post-concussion syndrome. Which would be interesting for me.

Discrimination? Plenty, in plenty of ways.

Learning - ongoing. Don't feel like going into it right now but I feel like I'm always learning loads about myself and how to manage stuff.
