Back to what the thread is for.
I don't have a current pic to post (currently sitting in the urgent care waiting room, to get some help for a current crisis).
I'm 48, and I've suffered from mental illness since I was a teenager, possibly earlier. Misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder in 198? and subsequently subjected to ineffective treatment, I was properly diagnosed as having bipolar disorder type 1 about 7 years ago and post-traumatic stress disorder some time later. While I'm currently going through a crisis, I have had relatively long periods where I was symptom free.
