This is a place to introduce yourself on the forum – we would love to meet you
I noticed that under a recent thread current users of the forum had introduced themselves by saying a little about themselves, their family situation, their children etc (what they felt comfortable with ) and a little about their PNI and the way it had been for them.
This struck me as being a very valuable thread and so I have created a board to do this on!
(Perhaps those who used a different thread to introduce themselves could cut and paste their post into this board or move it to this board)
For my introduction perhaps you can look at a previous explanation about the origins of this forum see: veritee.proboards7.com/index.cgi?board=Announcements&action=display&n=1&thread=26
But as a very rough introduction to me – I am Veritee, I had my only child in 1989 ( she is in 2005 15 years) when I was in my very late 30s after a successful career working with young parents, and some who over the years had had PNI – but when I got PNI was completely shocked by how severe the illness is ( as a ‘professional’ I really did not appreciate the true awfulness of this illness and how it can - and how badly - disrupt everything i.e. your family life, career, self worth etc)
I had many symptoms, too many to mention here ranging from the pysicl to the mentally distressing but the biggest; most distressing symptom of my illness for me was intrusive, obsessive and bizarre thoughts which on occasions involved my harming or even killing the child I loved so much.
My journey to recovery was long and hard and I have said much about it over the life of this forum so I will not repeat it here but eventually I started this web site as it seemed a good way to reach others who were suffering PNI.
I hope other will introduce them selves here
All the best
Veritee
