Hi Everyone, My name is Izzie. I suffer from depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and PTSD. There are several things that I need to deal with before I can heal. I realize that the depression and bipolar disorder is out of my control, but I can help my depression and anxiety if I could deal with the trauma that started the progression of all this. I was diagnosed with severe depression and high anxiety disorder in 2000, after a primary patient of mine died in the ICU I worked at. It was at that point, that things from my past started t o shed light on PTSD, and it is the things that happened from age 14 thru 16 that I need to deal with. It sounds crazy, "awkward word for this group", but it is those events that keep me at depression's doorstep. I have had help from counselors, psychologists, and a great psychiatrist(now retired). I take it day by day, but as all of us know, some of those days can be longer than others. I was lifted up when I saw this group. Thank you. |
