Every once in awhile, like now, I write a description of myself….just to let you know, who I am…..
My name is Christine, and I am 47 years old.  I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder, and
Schizoaffective Disorder.   I have been writing my blog entitled: “My Uncomfortable Mind”, for almost 3 years.
     I have PTSD, from childhood abuse, and I have inherited, Panic Disorder, and Schizoaffective Disorder, through my genes.  Some say that Schizoaffective Disorder, is a mood disorder, presenting itself as either Depression or Bipolar Disorder, with Schizophrenia symptoms, of psychosis.  Some say that it is a form of Schizophrenia.  Whatever, the case, it is a difficult life.
     If you were to meet me in everyday life, you would be very surprised to learn these facts about me.
You see, I am a human being, just like you.
     How do my friends describe me?:
Strong,
Unbreakable,
Sweet,
Kind,
Generous,
Loyal,
Artistic,
Intelligent,
Empathetic,
Sensitive,
Passionate,
Compassionate,
Loving….
     I am not a perfect human being, but I strive to do my best, everyday.  I want to show the world that people with Mental Illnesses are truly human.

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?
