My name is Kristin & I am a Cutter. I am also a mother & Nana. I love to cook, have friends over, watch movies, teach my grandchildren things & spend time with family & friends. I write poetry & love music. I am intelligent, caring, kind, compassionate & fun to be around.
Then there is the other side. My erratic, paranoid, on the edge of a nervous breakdown side. I can switch from one to the other without reason, cause or warning. It usually occurs after days of crying for which I have a dozen reasons, but can't find one in particular.
I have bipolar with schizophrenic tendencies, anxiety, severe depression, BPD, PPD, OCD, Psychoneurosis & I am, at times, suicidal.
I have chosen to write about myself because if I can help one person get through, what I feel is the daily struggle of being alive, then I've done my job. To have any disorder is a challenge, but when you have several, it becomes a day to day battle.

***My website is a work in progress. It will take me time to talk about what my life has been like and all the things I have endured growing up.
My children, close family and friends know most of this about me.
I am taking a chance of being completely disowned by the rest of my family for sharing this information, as they know very little of why I am like I am today. They neither understand or care, I think.
Names will not be mentioned, but the relation to me will be.
That doesn't matter to me right now. This is my therapy. This is for me and the many others like me. The ones of us who carry deep, dark secrets and have no one to talk to.
Please take the time to go to my contact page and let me know what you think of my site. Is it helpful? Do we have anything in common? What do you want to see more of? Do you need something I haven't discussed here? I want to make friends with people who are like me. People who need me like I need them, you know, people who understand me. People who have gone through what I have.
