Hi, I'm Joe. I was diagnosed in 1985. It took me about 22 years to accept it. I isolate, become passive aggressive, and am just a pain in the butt a lot. I hope you all will have some patience with me from time to time. I'm making a lot of changes in my life recently. I quit smoking cigarettes. I don't drink or use illegal drugs anymore. I'm back in school working toward a BA in social and behavioral sciences so that I can work with crazies like myself. I hope to make lots of friends here, it is a super friendly place.
