    • About Me

      I love children, and animals especially cats. I am so sick and tired of being in this country, I know it is up to me to do something about it. I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder, which leads to anxiety attacks and depression. I seem to be hibernating, isolating myself more and more. I just feel so blazee about the whole thing, and I rather be at home than see people. I have become a recluse, and I dont seem to no longer care...

      Linda, let me be (among?) the first to wish you a Happy 48th birthday!!! And as nice as you look.....your heart is even nicer. I hope your day is filled with lots of good things.

    • I’m With You

      From ChronicIL October 19

      You have an interesting background and I completely understand about people complaining about trivial things. Going to less privileged countries should be a requirement. It really changes people for the better and gives perspective. Many people want to help less fortunate people but they really don't understand just how different their worlds are. My visit to Nepal at age 30 was my first visit to such a country, what an eye-opener!

    • Close Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I am glad to see that I am not the only one who hibernates. I thought I was being strange, but it really didn't matter to me. I now know that I am not the only one. However, I tend to hibernate not only in Winter. I guess I am not happy being back in London, and I just want to move away from this country. I lack the motivation to do anything..and it is getting worse. The fact that I am physically ill does not help at all.
