I meet many people who experience depression and usually they have some very risky behaviours going on.

You?

I'm probably one the most unriskiest people yu ever met. But I'm a big chicken.

I had more risky behaviors in my youth due to not dealing with the depression/anxiety

depression can bring about a certain self loathing which result in risky behavior

Used to, much more so when I was younger. Didn't really care what happened to me. Usually associated with drinking.

I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I quit smoking. I quit caffeine. I don't fuck around. (Going through divirce). I don't think fighting fire is what you were asking.

Bella.... I put my life on the line every day but I don't think that's what he was asking. I don't cut or hit or beat anyone else or anything. I'm actually a square in american speech

I wasn't trying say it was destructive behavior. I'm not all that risky either. Um....though in the past I have self harmed. Not very often but I'm ashamed to admit that I have. So i guess thats where I get lil risky. But I really don't do that alot.

I'm surprised I made it this long. Nothing to be embarassed about, Bella.

Hit wall, broke my hand; discovered alcohol and abused it endlessly and stupidly; tried all kinds of drugs, luckily never liked them; cut with razors; speeding; etc., etc.

I didn't know that others did this too. I'm alittle stunned i guess. I always felt so ashamed and embarresed.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
