    • About Me

      I have depression, social anxiety and issues with anger. I also have crohns disease. I belong to groups for all of these and find this site very helpful. I am on some new meds and seeing a new psychiatrist, so I hope to feel a difference soon. I like to walk my dogs, watch movies, and sometimes read. I am mostly a home body.

    • Little Love

      From ronna October 17

      hi brad, thanks for the hug. it trook me 4 months to get my ssi, and i was denied the first time, i think alot of ppl are. you will get it. i am the same, anxious, and still staying in, i hate this agorphobia. the weekends are the worst for me, nothing good to watch on t.v., i am not a football fan. thats all that is on, i do like baseball and hockey, but hate basketball too. i like shows like, law & order svu, crimal minds, i.d. channel, anything to do with mystery, forensic, i'm not a big movie watcher. i lke crime shows. kinda morbid, but thats what i like. i'll keep my fingers crossed, that you get your ssi soon. xo,

    • Open Anger Management

      I have always had probs with anger management, but it has recently become hardderr to control. Maybe because I have crohns disease and had a recent round of steroids. also could have to do with diagnosed anxiety disorder. Hoping recent change in meds will help. Also suffer from depression.
