About Me

My photo
My Black Fog
Fergus, Ontario, Canada
I am a 62 year old woman who suffers from a mental illness and recovering from a drug addiction. On the outside I am 'normal' Look just like every other face in the crowd. But inside? My heads swirling,... I have been diagnosed with severe chronic depression. I have been for all of my adult life. But it seems to get worse with each passing year. And the past two have been brutal. I have isolated. Retreated into my own existence. I am living completely in "My Black Fog"This blog, twitter & Facebook are my 'other' (secret) identity & a great outlet for me. Have found so many new friends with mental illness who understand & don't judge.

Things I've Been Diagnosed With

These are the diagnosis that I have been given over the past 30 years. I have never even heard of some of them and the others are very common. Doctors now cannot believe I have been diagnosed with some of these????

Anorexic as a teen

Depressive neurosis (dysthymia)

Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder

Cluster B Personality Disorder

Situational Adjustment reaction-Anxiety

Post Partum depression

Fibromyalgia ~ (isn't a mental illness but a lot of people in
society feel its "all in my head" and don't think of it as a 'real' disease)

Adjustment Disorder with depressed mood

OCD

agoraphobia







Famous People with Bipolar

Jim Carrey

Robert Downey Jr

Patty Duke

Carrie Fisher

Linda Hamilton

Margot Kidder

Kristy McNichols

Ben Stiller

Robin Williams

Kurt Cobain

Stephen Fry

Sinead O'Connor

Ozzy Osbourne

Sheryl Crow

Axl Rose



Most of these people were fully functioning members of society. All thoroughly gifted and talented in what they did.



There is always HOPE for us!!!!!!
