    • Close Depression

      Deep episodes of depression, first recognized even as young as 5! Then sophomore high school, where I use to listen to Tears in Heaven, crying in a closet unable to tell anyone why I was so sad, even to myself. I couldn't understand. Then realizing, after being diagnosed BP (Bipolar) that it is the nature of the beast. I keep trying to survive. And even on my good days, I'm afraid that the monster of Depression might lurk its ugly head once again.

    • Open Asperger Syndrome

      many years I thought I had social phobia now I wonder where I might fall on the autism scale. Are there varying degrees of Asperger Syndrome? I really have trouble keeping conversations and tend to talk avoiding eye contact. However there a few people I can be myself with but when I speak I find that it is centered mostly on tv or movies or electronics. In fact I am known as the gagdget girl at work. I also am focused when ur comes to drawing and writing music. But maybe I'm not
