    • About Me

      Recently Diagnosed Anxiety, Work Stress, PTSD, Major Depression. I have been suffering for just over a year and a half. I did not realize how bad mental illness is. When I look back I have spent the last 5 months in the house, cut my self off from my friends and family and loosing all my motivation, feeling useless and un-wanted. But I am determined not to let it win with out a fight. I am tying to live in the MOMENT forget the past and stop projecting the future if I can do that I will be winning my fight, at least the first round then I will be on the way up. I hate people that add negative thing's to posts when there only purpose is to be snide or attack whi is involved in the threads, this stop's new comers shy people and even seasoned members from getting involved and they should not have to feel that way it is a open forum. HEATH WARNING do not read my posts unless you have patience and understanding they are VERY long winded so BEWARE! I never want to offend anyone I have a warped sense of Humor so do not take any of my remarks to heart. I dont care if you leave negative reply's you are fully entitled to your opinion. But please think of the members that have to read the threads the last thing they need is negativity!
