Hi everybody.  First off, thank you for existing.  i have been looking for something like this for quite some time and shockingly to very little avail.  I suffer from some pretty serious mental afflictions, one of them actually caused me to accidentally harm my best friend and i lost 8.5 years of my life for it (just gonna be honest and upfront).  I have had severe ptsd and anxiety for my entire life, but four years ago, while i was away and working at prison factory in slavish conditions, i was injured badly.  I mean, my arm was slowly crushed as it was pulled into a a large rolling cauldron, broken in about 12 places, and then nearly ripped completely off at the shoulder.  I had 8 surgeries and spent the next 351 days in a hospital bed.

Now, i sued of course, and since i won, on top not getting any physical therapy AT ALL and nothing stronger than tylenol for the pain, the next four years brought me abuse, neglect and emotional torture that i just did not deserve and it has left an indellible mark on my psyche.  Now i know a lot of people don't empathize with convicts, i hope u can believe when i say it was strictly mental health related, a total accident and i pay for it everyday.

It is just so nice to have a place where people understand.  My father doesn't get it, my brother doesn't get it, and the woman whom i planned to marry and impregnate, who had told me that she was fascinated by the psychology behind my afflictions and found mental illness intriguing and interesting.....she bolted the second i showed a few symptoms.  So, thank you all for being here, im sure not too many will read this all the way through, but i thank you for your time none the less.
