I didn't even have therapy at the hospital. After that I was in foster homes because I told them if they sent me home I'd run. I did see a psychiatrist when I was about 17 or so, but I never felt like I could tell them exactly what dysfunction had gone on in our home and didn't even have a clue that I had been molested by my Grandfather. I have been in therapy on and off throughout the years, but since I have physically been unable to work off my manic phases I have had to confront all of my demons. This makes life a lot harder on me these days. I just hope he will see my agony.

My health issues I obviously can't lie about and they have all been documented. I just want to get approved so I can get on with my life instead of being in limbo.
