I'll do mine - I'm pie eyed and listening to Pink Floyd so this should be good.


I'm Patrick, hi. Most of you know me (older members, not like age.. but duration wise) anyway - but for those of you who don't, I'm nearly seventeen years old and have just left school - starting college in September to do a two year course on Film and TV Production as I've always had an interest in that area.

Over the course of my short life so far - so much has happened, things that wouldn't normally happen to a typical teenager.

When my Mum and Dad split up back in 2002, I had to move away and became isolated from friends. The only company I had was my little brother, having alot of free time lead me to developing an interest in Big Brother, an interest that only developed further as the years went on, until eventually I joined this forum and for two years it became my primary source for socializing.

When the end of 2010 came - I changed as a person, dramatically in quite a short space of time, unintentionally aswell.
I've became more outgoing, more sure of myself and who I am, and have learnt alot.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder and Aspergers - all within 8 months, after dealing with sever depression and prolonged insomnia the previous year.

I got picked on quite alot in school for being different, it wasn't until the final two years that people started respecting me for who I was and felt able to include me - the last few months of 2012, I was attacked numerous times in town - this ultimately has driven me to complete and utter paranoia, but I'm overcoming it now and hopefully, getting back to myself and hope to have a good summer.


Hope that wasn't too long or dull haha x
