Interests
not a lot when down not a little when up. interested in finding some balance somewhere in all this but to name a few things I love: music, movies, photography, astrology/tarot/housework and keeping a shipshape world, reading- lots, walking and sightseeing holidays. not too much into adventure sports-nearly drowned white water rafting put me off a bit-horserding -first find a horse...TV is fun for a break, mental health, etc etc etc

Close Loneliness
I find it hard to make new friends and I often feel apart from the friends I have. I like my own company but I want new people to rexpand my life. Just not able to go out by myself unless Im in manic mode and then I can, but often they are "unsuitable" as I get drawn to very "lowlife' types. I like chattting on DS and think I can make friends here who are in a way more really connecting than people in the real World
Open Anxiety

To keep tabs on my wish to attempt social drinking -is it feasible or just the liquor up to its sneaky tricks?
