Hello, my name is notz.
I was extremely depressed one cold October evening and searched for a place where I could find help. I’m forever grateful I found this site. That was in 2008.
Things of particular interest in my history: childhood sexual molestation, rape, the death of my daughter and alcoholism.
I struggle with dysthymia, bouts of major depression, suicidal idealization, self injury, PTSD and alcoholism. I’ve been free from alcohol since June 5, 1993. I have been in psychotherapy for almost as long!
I am a lesbian with a spouse of 23 years.
