Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm thinking of joining this guild... was thinking of making one, actually, before it occurred to me to search for a good one, first. I have Bipolar II, and I don't think I talk about it enough... I'd especially like to try to support others in trouble, and press the issue of medication. My life is quite different than it used to be.
I love the new guild notifications, but I'm showing some shame by posting as Talon, because this is not my most commonly used account and I might not respond often... tell you what, if someone sends a guild invitation to me as Wiinter, I'll stop being shy about it. It's not something I can change (and I'm not sure I'd want to) and if my friends on that account are uncomfortable seeing the guild on my page, well, then, they weren't very good friends. Right? (This part I'm still having some trouble with, actually... there's such a stigma against the word 'Bipolar.')

Hi my name is Racheal and i am 28 and diagnosed with bipolar 1 with severe anxiety and possible ptsd. I wasn't diagnosed until my early 20's so i am still learning about my disorder and how to manage it. I have had three or four impatient hospital stays due to suicide attempts and i do not work or drive due to the disorder and how it has affected me socially. I am starting to get better though slowly..i am now in a wonderful relationship with my bf and living with him and i am excited that my life is finally going somewhere now.
