I have been a member of quite a few SNS in the past, and frequent a few now, but my instable conditions make it difficult to be in such open, judgmental, and immature communities such as ones presented by sections of Tumblr. I have many friends there, and there are many things I like about it, so I can't leave, but I have been spending the day looking for a nice, active, and understanding community to join, and I stumbled upon this forum.

I am a special education major, going into my 5th year next year.

I have a cocktail of diagnosed and treated neurological "problems" including, Arteriovenous Malformatins (3 in the brain that were surgically removed in December, diagnosed in July of last year), Seizure Disorder (due to the AVMs), Executive Function Disorder (attributed to the surgery and possible damage to my left frontal lobe that controls executive functions), Bipolar Disorder (now getting debated on whether or not bipolar like symptoms were being caused by the AVMs due to their location, but was diagnosed in 10th grade), and Depression (diagnosed in 7th grade). Of course, these come with physical symptoms, but they are generally manageable.

Anyways, I hope I will be able to find friends or people I can talk to here, and hope to be able to de-stress. Thanks in advance!
