I have two grown kids that don’t even know about my mi as I have struggled to hide it. I guess from embarrassment. I am on AP that are working well, I just live from day to day.

Hello my friend.

I was born in Port Lincoln South Australia, but i currently live in Brisbane Queensland.
I was born in 1988.
I live with my partner and we’ve been together for 14 years
Hobby wise i like diamond dots, cross stitch, reading, doing puzzles, baking cakes, playing the sims and watching cooking shows.
I used to work as an RN (nurse), but i have recently given that up as i wasnt managing it anymore.
Yeah it is nice where i live. Has everything you need amenities wise so we dont have to travel that far to get groceries, etc.
I dont exercise as much as i should, but i do have my own treadmill. Just need the motivation.
I always try to eat healthy and incorporate as many veggies in our meals as much as possible.
Mental health wise, i’ve been diagnosed with Major Depression and Schizophrenia.
I sleep very well most of the time due to the medication. Very sedating.
For support i see a psychologist, my case worker and my pdoc on a monthly basis.
All my medication work very well, only very minor residual symptoms.
I am female.
