StopItJeca

My sister was diagnosed with absence seizures when she was 2. She has been on a slew of medications over the years and most recently her seizures have "transitioned" into full blown epileptic convulsions.

Her first one was last June, and since then, it's like her mind has been reset to some past restore point, unfortunately, sometime before middle school level.

Though she's biologically 20, she has forgotten basic math, vocabulary, and basic motor skills that she previously had mastered. She's still high functioning (can dress herself, hold conversation, eat, etc) but it's like we have a 13 year old all over again.

I have tried everything I can to keep her focused on her independence (sh

I am in the database, but periodically I like to update for any new users out there that I am available for chat.

I work 12 hour shifts at a desk, so I'm usually available for text anytime, but can set up voice chat upon request (and scheduling).

Whether you're going through something big or small, need a shoulder, or just a perspective...I'm here for you. I'm accepting and open-minded, so please don't be afraid of judgement or ridicule. That's not my style.

I am a bookworm and a loud & proud nerd for all things game related. I love all genres of music and have been known to hold concertos in my car to the amusement of my fellow drivers. :) I am spiritual, but don't consider myself

So I botch rolled my Valentine's Day check and now have to work, am sick, and my least favorite aunt is in town...but let me be there for you. Haha, I'll see myself out...

But really, if you're looking for a friend or just a friendly conversation today, I'm here until 5 EST (or GMT-5).

EDIT: I should note that my speaking voice is terrible at the moment. I prefer chat via skype or PM at least until my voice is healed then I would love to set up a voice chat with you. Sorry if that was misleading.

Hey guys,

I know I'm in the database and have posted a few times that I'm available almost anytime, but I thought since this sub keeps growing, I would let our new users know I'm here.

I am married with a partner who has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (Type II), have had my shares of ups and downs with depression, and low self esteem. I've lost numerous loved ones to illness, accident, and suicide. But that's not all I am. I love to play video games and I sing, I read pretty regularly, work full time, and love the outdoors. No kids yet, but I have a giant hound and two lazy carpet sharks to keep me company.

Whether you're looking for a person who relates to what you're going throu

Hey guys, I posted my info a few weeks ago and just wanted to update it for any 2015's or new users (Welcome!).

I'm 25 and my husband suffers from Bipolar disorder. I've battled depression myself and I've lost someone close to me to suicide. On the lighter side, I love video and board games, music, and anything Harry Potter. :) I'm here for you.

If you need/would like to chat you can pm me or add me on skype: StopItJeca at (almost) anytime. We can arrange voice calls if you prefer.

I want to wish you all a happy New Year!

I just found this sub and am reaching out to anyone who needs comfort or a friend. I know this time of year can be tough for a lot of people and I genuinely believe no one should ever feel alone.

A little bit about me: I'm 25 and am from the Midwest US. I am married and my husband suffers from Bipolar Disorder. I am a survivor of the aftermath of suicide and can relate firsthand what it does to a family. I enjoy video games (console), all things music, and books. I can be available anytime for online/text conversations, but if voice is preferred we can arrange that since my time zone is GMT-5.

My parents have been divorced for a few years and my dad is just starting to get his "mojo" back.

By "mojo" I mean my dad has been acting like a college frat boy on spring break for the past few months...complete with many one night stands.

Fast forward to today: My dad comes to me frantic (because I work in a Pharmacy and that automatically means I know everything about STD's) claiming that a "nice girl" he met the night before must have given him something.

Naturally I ask what happenend, and he begins a tale not fit for a daughter to hear..."DAD, I don't need to know the play by play, what's wrong now?"

To which he responds that all day when he goes to the bathroom, "it burns". He fu
