Ravenari, I am new to this too and new to my diagnosis. (I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Prior to that I was diagnosed with major depression with psychosis and a list of others. When I received this diagnosis I was highly skeptical (yea, just give me 1 more label for my insanity). My last hospitalization just a couple of weeks ago has forced me to start accepting that this is something I can't just discipline myself out of. I need help and need to stay with the help I find. I have a tendency to not trust people easily and so I push people far away. I am glad that this opportunity exists. God Bless you and all the rest of us as we fight this "thing" or should I say "accept this thing"
