So, I'm kind of in the same boat as Faith No More, though not quite. The tl;dr version is that I've struggled with mental health for over 3 decades, was regularly misdiagnosed and improperly treated, and hospitalized more times that I can remember.
I finally got an accurate diagnosis a few years back (post-traumatic stress disorder co-morbid with type 1 bipolar disorder), got on track with the right treatment, and although there's a lifetime of work ahead, life is a lot better now, and my illness is being managed much better now. I'd also be happy to answer questions.
