My name is T. I am 31 years old and from the rainy state of Washington. I have been diagnosed with a myriad of disorders/illnesses. The ones that seem to resonate (and I'm currently being treated for) are Bipolar with rapid cycling(heavy on the side of depression), generalized anxiety disorder, codependency, and certain compulsive disorders. I am also being treated as if I have PTSD, as I do not have any functioning memories before the age of 14/15. I am a rainbow of mental illness.
I am surrounded by people who do not understand my insides and don't believe I have anything wrong with me. I often find myself being the one that everyone turns to for help. I also find myself incapable of saying no to anyone, regardless of how much I am hurting. So, I am hoping to find people that I can talk to who can actually relate to what I am going through/dealing with. I am hoping to find some sort of balance.
It was lovely to find the podcast and this site. I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Re: Hello. :)
Hey there! I'm right under you here in Oregon. Welcome, welcome.
I can't say no to other people as well, no matter what it does to me mentally, emotionally, physically, financially... I just can't. I'm sure it's related to my feelings of worthlessness and desire to please.
I love that you describe yourself as a rainbow because they come out in the sunshine after the rain.
