Hello there! I was wandering around cyberspace last night looking for info on some of my assorted issues, and ended up here. I'm so glad I did! :2thumbs:
There's much more to me than my psych issues, but since this forum is for, well, psych issues!, I guess I'll just briefly describe THAT part of me for now.
I've suffered from depression basically my whole life, dating back easily to 5, 6 years old. I had an extremely unhappy childhood, courtesy of my maternal grandmother (we moved in with her after my parents divorced). I left home at 16, was raped shortly thereafter, and soon after that woke up one day [after a miscarriage] feeling as if I, and my surroundings, were completely unreal. Since that day I've never had a moment without dissociation (both depersonalization and derealization).
Well, there you have the extremely brief version of my life story!
