I thought that I would give an update of my status at this present time. I think that overall, for me, I am doing pretty damn good! Parts of this summer were very hard because I had days where I had flashbacks, bad memories, and even auditory hallucinations. But I have been able to cope with these things very well. Yes, I cried, at times, but I did not want to die. I’d get knocked down, but I’d get up amazingly well. It has been this way since I got out of the hospital, in January. Before, in my life, I would fall apart over every upset, and not know how to put myself back together. Now I have been granted some type of power, it feels like, a power of great strength. And I realize that I have been given a blessing, that I will forever treasure.
It took decades to reach this point, 26 years of counseling, 26 years at different medication attempts, a year of Electro-Convulsive Therapy, numerous hospitalizations, and the prayers and love of many wonderful people. I’m not saying that I will ever be cured, but I came to a revelation that life is good and I must really try to live it to it’s fullest.
I want to thank the people that love me, and thank God, for giving me strength to persevere. Nothing I say, will ever be able to thank them enough.

Hello,
I’m Christine
My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
