short description of interest in joining forum:
I had a mental breakdown (Jan 2008) after 25 years living in BK centres in Australia. Moved out from the centre in order to receive psychological treatment and have time-out. After 4 months treatment with a psychologist and achieving total deconstruction, I began to try and start living by making my own decisions. I begun study in a Bachelor of Applied Social Science in an attempt to ease my way into normal life again. I found it a big strain to try and integrate into normal life as i don't know anyone outside of BK. I would like to keep in contact with any ex-BKs in Australia. (etc).
ONE YEAR LATER- my back pain of many years has gone and am working in my medical career that was neglected for so long. Was on disability pension for last 9 years while living in centre. Truth speaks for itself, doesn't it?
Tried internet dating for while before giving that up, then my partner (now of 1 year) found me. (another ex-BK) My family are overjoyed with the changes in my life and I like this feeling of being in touch with myself and the world. Not feeling like an alien anymore. Still having therapy, still learning to adapt to normal life, need connection with ex-BK's please.
