I will leave. I've been crying all morning about this. I just caused more problems, and everyone hates me now and don't want me here. I thought I supported people here, but I guess not.
I can't stop crying, so I have to go.
I'm sorry I caused such hurt.
I may be back, I really don't know.
I'm sorry

Kristen,
You have to make the decision that is right for you. Know that you will be missed by some (more in private email).Michael

Kristen, I have only known you as galkeepinon, but I have read the many posts from others who have said there were some very bad problems with you in the past on these boards (as Krissy P?). I tried to look in the archives, but all of the posts I read by Krissy P were nothing but helpful, kind and supportive. Can you fill me in on what happened, you seem like a nice person. If not, I understand you may not want to rehash it all. Anyway, I hate to ask, but does your illness make you do things that hurt you/others? If this is the case, if you show a lot of effort in keeping with your docs and the meds, people with similar maladies will likely be more forgiving.
Mental illness can do things to our minds that afterward horrify us when we are able to step back at cetain times. Please know that a lot of us understand that. All we can do is our best to keep the many problems at bay. If you need a new ear, I am "hear" (and I am a psych major - a real one- with real problems of my own too). I am also 37 and not new to dealing with things (I have had bad atypical depression for over 25 years).
Take Care, Searchlight

Hi Searchlight:-)
Thank you for your post:-) You had asked if my illness makes me do things that hurt you/others.
Yes, it has and it does, unfortunately. I think many mental illnesses can do that.
I have a great psychiatrist who also does therapy with me, so I'm doing my part in getting well.
Thank you for offering me a new 'ear'~that's very nice of you. I will take you up on that kind offer, if it still stands?
I come here mostly now to just share my experience and try to help people out who want information, support, and experience of medications, therapy, and things I have been through that they need help with. I also tend to need support from others when I am feeling really hopeless about things.
I've had major depression (re-ocurring) since about 1992 when my fiance and I broke up, and things in my life were all up in smoke for other reasons too.
Right now, I am a student majoring in Liberal Studies with 2 minors~Psychology and Health. I transferred to a different university as a senior Psychology major, but lost a lot of units towards that BA, I will be graduating next year, if all goes well *crossing fingers and praying*
If I can be of any help and/or support to you, I'm here for you, please believe that.
I started posting here about 7 months ago, took a break, because I was hospitalized, and have started posting again the last few months.
Anyway, thank you again for your post, and I hope to talk to you more soon.
Take care,
Kristen:-)Anyway, I hate to ask, but does your illness make you do things that hurt you/others? If this is the case, if you show a lot of effort in keeping with your docs and the meds, people with similar maladies will likely be more forgiving.
