> ZanaDear Zana, I have had several suicide attempts in the recent past. I was initially dx with a personality disorder and sent straight home after being on life support with no follow up care. It is a long and unbelievable story what happened to me. I was supposed to have died. I can't talk about this as I am currently seeking legal advice.
Thank you so much for your concern. I would like to put the message out there that mixed states of bipolar are a very dangerous and distressing stage.
I am currently on an anti-psychotic and much better though I am haunted about what happened to me.
