Change my life. Gave me the ability to understand the breadth of my illness. And allowed me to point out abuse I had been tolerating from family members who suffer from the same condition but refuse to seek help.
Very similar experience for me, I was finally able to separate the illness from my own personality whereas over a decade prior i could not discern between the two
Exactly, the first break thru I had on the drugs were when something happened and a thought entered my head that normally would tie me into knots, just was a brief thought and went away. Like holy shit I was fucked up!
Ynow im happy to talk to someone with the same experience as me. I had the same family, refuse treatment and also convinced me to never get treatment and we all made each other miserable dragging each other down.

It still happen on occasion, but now I know. I call it my brain trying to eat me.

I hope you're able to manage your family. And keep healthy boundaries.
Too true. Sure glad as well. I'm glad you found help. The American health system is a strange sea to navigate.
