About Me
I've lead a wild life. Did you ever play that childhood game where you go through "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Wise man, Poor man, Beggar man, Thief ..." done 'em all at one stage or another. I remember a counsellor tell me once that he'd loved to have done half the things that I'd done and yet I still judge myself harshly :( Being Indigenous I've 'over achieved' in most peoples expectations, I've often heard people say "I could have done that if I got the breaks you guys get!" and sure I've had some luck but most of it still needed me to put in the hard yards. Throughout life, and especially at school, my report cards have continually said "Has done well" and invariably, immediately afterwards "BUT could have done better!"

Interests
ADHD means my interests flip and flop quicker than the weather I'm afraid. Art - blacksmithing, particularly damascene, and leadlighting. I'm looking to do a glass blowing course in the hopes of including that.

It's like practising death but getting it wrong because you eventually wake up.

Hi,
Thank you - I really needed the hug. We seem to keep missing each other. I hope you are well. It would be nice to talk if you have the time. I know you leave the computer on all the time so it is hard for me to tell when you are really on. But I really do look forward to talking to you soon.

DuckAndCover hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
Welcome to my nightmare (apologies to Alice Cooper), whipped with a belt until I couldn't stand, beaten until I pee-ed my own blood, so confused that I continued to punish myself through biting. All to make me a 'good boy'.
Treatments

Open Depression
I have Asperger's Syndrome and dancing to 3/4 time in a 4/4 world has led to Anxiety and Depression. Toss in ADHD and OCD like behaviour and you get the tip of the iceberg
