Hi Everyone,
I am very happy to have found this mental health support forum. I am 31 years old, and have a history of depression, anxiety and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia a number of years ago. I sometimes question my diagnosis of schizophrenia, as my experiences are very real (to me anyways).
I work as a peer support worker for an ACT Team (Assertive Community Treatment Team), and I really enjoy my job. Previous to working on the ACT Team, I was on ODSP for over a year. And previous to that, I lived in Waterloo where I went to university. I enjoyed studying, however it was a "hellish experiece" when I was going through hard times with my mental health and stress.
I am looking forward to posting on the forums.
Thanks,
Eeyore
