Great idea!

Hi, my name is Jo, but most people here call me mj. For anyone who doesn't know, the "m" stands for mezzo-soprano, because I am a singer.

I went through a bout with major depression in my mid twenties, and it started again, combined with General Anxiety Disorder, almost two years ago now. I also have been diagnosed with dependent personality disorder, which makes being alone very difficult for me (probably why I am so easy to find in chat! ). The man I was living with for 11 years left me about a year ago, because he "couldn't handle" my depression.

I found this site shortly after my depression started, and I have made so many wonderful friends here. And I just love Heather for starting this thread!!!

*hugs* to everyone
