Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I wanted to post something fun for once, and I got the idea from a conversation my mother and I had over the weekend. We were talking about how I got my nicknames.
I was named Danielle, so my Dad could call me Dani. He wanted his little girl to have a name that ended in an "I" and wanted to name me Randi. My mother said, we are not naming her that, instead we'll name her Danielle and you can call her Dani. Hence my nickname. Well, Dani is only on of many nicknames I've had over the years. I was pistach (Cajun for little peanut) by my Dad. Petite catin (Cajun for little doll) was bestowed upon me by my Pae Pae because I was really tiny and had small facial features as a child. I was called Nelly Bell, by my Maw Maw, Aunt, and cousins. My mom however, tried to put a stop to that one because she thought it would be terrible if I was called Nell from that one. Well I am actually called Nell by them every now and then, but because my mom was so insistent on trying to end that one, they came up with another one: Dani Fanny. I looked at my mom and said, I'd take Nell (which I really like in fact) over Dani Fanny any day! So, that's what I am lovingly called by my family. And sometimes, it's just Fanny. Why didn't my mom just stick with Nell? lol!
So, I want to know. What are your nicknames? How did you get them? Do you love them? Hate them? Tell me your story!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I don't mind any of those, the one that got me though was a lot of people called me 'Joey' in middle school and after a while it got old being told I wasn't a baby kangaroo and several people would look at me funny because I wasn't a boy.
Batman - I have had a trenchcoat every year since I was fourteen and when I was 17 some lads in my street saw me running for the bus and began singing the themetune at me.
Four years on they always say 'hey batman how's it goin'....*shrugs*
Twisted Ophelia - pen name my friends n i came up with to write my twisted fairy tales under
Kat - because of my obsession with cats and the fact that my name begins that way.
Red hair big boobs.
I hate it.
Taz, love the story behind it!
Jo: It's ok, I'm called Dani and people still get freaked out that I'm a girl. lol! So I know how that one feels!

and of course:
"The General" ... which was my favorite one... I was a manager at a small electronics store and the only one who new anything about anything in there... and this really fun old man [like 90... seriously] who didn't give a shit about new age laws [read: he walked in smoking a fat cigar] would always get someone who didn't know anything and I'd hear, "Get me the General" or "Is the General here?" .... gooood times.
on the internet i was called Jacks, and that was shortened to Jax. lol!
Unmotivated Evil.
I loved that one.
then since my name is Kathleen everyone called me Kat
that turned into Katamaran by my best friend
Kitty Kat
and Pussy if they really wanted to piss me off but somehow those nicknames always stuck
and let me tell you when a greesy middle aged ped. walks by you at work and asks "hey pussy if i licked you would you taste good?" it's time that the nickname Kat was taken away lol
