I have a full roster of alphabet soup diagnoses. I have ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), SZA (Schizoaffective Disorder), GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I also get addicted to things (tobacco and other legal drugs) easily and struggle with self harm (by choking or banging my head on things). I’m a mess. Well, sometimes. I have been in the psych hospitals several times for suicide and once because I thought I was a monster.

I take a lot of pills. I take a tranquilizer, melatonin, an anti-psychotic, an anti-depressant, a mood stabilizer, ulcer medicine, and vitamins. In total, 11 pills a day if I’m not physically sick.
In future posts I will talk about each issue and try to do it in some kind of order. I will also talk about my personal philosophy which has helped me in a number of ways.
