My most recent diagnosis is complex PTSD along with a family history of severe sleep disorders which led to hallucinations. Knowing there is a biological cause led to an answer, which is why I have made such a dramatic recovery. Being diagnosed schizophrenic and told it was a lifelong illness was quite a blow, and finding out this is actually a genetic illness and has a clearly defined treatment plan was so empowering, which is why I am the healthiest I have ever been in my life. Trust me, we all have problems and are on the same journey, so don't minimize your struggles either. We are all here for a reason.
That's quite a story so far but please keep up the work so that you can move further on the road to recovery. With your positive attitude I expect that you will have even better stories to tell soon. Take care of yourself and thanks for sharing!
