    • About Me

      Just an ordinary person trying to make my life better and to help my friends.. I am beginning to enjoy life a lot more .I've learned to trust my intuition and if I make a mistake, to forgive myself. A lot depends on attitude and focusing on the positive. I long for real friendships, not just on the surface, but REAL friendships, ones where I can disagree with a person and they don't leave just because I disagree or have a different perspective. I learned "tough love" being in the psych hospital, as they teach you to face up to your problems and to endure the tough times. I've learned not to run away just because things aren't going my way.. I was diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety and Panic disorder. and bipolar disorder.All these disorders run in my family. My mother was bipolar, as well as two of my brothers. At times I tend to absorb other people's problems, and I want to help.I've found out that some people do not want yout to help...just to listen.
