ABOUT ME:

I am 35, a pre-nursing student and just trying to plug along through life and get my life in order despite fighting the battles of several emotional illnesses over 20 years. I have suffered from clinical depression, panic attacks, anxiety and OCD since I was 13. I was hospitalized twice in my 20's for major depression and have done self injury in the past as well as have been in Overeater's Anonymous. I have 2 things that I don't see as "issues" anymore ---1) I was sexually assaulted at age 21 by a friend and had PTSD after that(now in remission), but other people seem to always have a problem dealing with that... 2) I am bisexual which is not an issue for me, but again for other people it is and of course I try to make others happy and please people and so their opnion of me affects me greatly. If they get on my case about my "issues" then I get worse. I have lost a lot of friends over the years. I just need to have supportive people around who understand and empathasize...there are so many ignorant folk who don't understand me and I am tired of always being labeled "too much baggage". So I just am looking for some positivity and people who can relate! I take so much solace and joy in the outdoors and nature and being able to go up to North Country to get away. My cat also is a joy in my life. My family is supportive of me and I have 3 friends who are.
