[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 401541, member: 1514"] I kind of had a light bulb moment when I read The Bipolar Child after Cory was dxd. We both got our diagnosis's in the same year. He slightly before me. Someone on here recommended I read it and when I did, I was just astounded. I thought "how did these people know all about my childhood?" LOL. That book really sounded much more like me than it did Cory. I have zero doubt that I have been Bipolar since I was a preschooler. When you add in all the junk my mother did too me and the genetics, well, I was a stewing pot for some personality disorder. I am sure that I was probably diagnosed with borderline earlier than I found out about it but I never knew. I found out because one psychiatrist left my assessment paperwork on the desk and went to get something and I read the info upside down. Axis 1, Axis 2...etc. Honestly my GAF score has never been out of the 40s...most of the time I stay in the 30s. If I didnt have Tony they would probably say I had to have a caregiver or live in a group home. The only reason I have been able to keep from being hospitalized is because I have family around me. That and Im stubborn...lol. But just to meet me, you wouldnt know any of this. I present fine....when medicated. [/QUOTE]
