    • About Me

      I am not accepting any new friends (please see my journal entry). I am quite sure that I have avoidant personality disorder. I have also suffered with depression in the past. I think my depression is caused in part by seasonal affective disorder because it tends to be worse in the late fall and early winter. I have know people who have BPD and I know a lot about that disorder. I genuinely like people with BPD, even with their crazy mood swings. I am interested in helping people who have BPD, are depressed, have urges to self injure, or who contemplate suicide. I am not a professional, but am like learning about treatments and self-help methods, and sharing things that work others. I will also give positive support and words of wisdom when I can.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I have been depressed in the past and now want to stay free of it as best I can. I also want to help others who are depressed.

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      I find meditation helpful. Sometimes it is good to just turn off your thinking and give your mind a rest.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I think positive thinking and keeping a good attitude is the most important thing you can do. Positive thoughts lead to positve actions.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Friends are definitely an essential element to being happy, but the problem is that it is difficult to make friends and develop friendships when you are depressed.
    • Close Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I have come to realize that my worse bouts of depression are always in late fall and winter, so I think I probably have SAD. My worse months are October through December.
