I am a new member so I thought I would introduce myself. I am also new to figuring out the whole forum thing. I am sure there is a lot I need to learn about how to navigate the forum so I can best utilize it. I welcome any direction others may provide. I am currently seeking information on how to manage my illness and overcome depression. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago, but only recently started to wrap my head around accepting it. I still struggle with the stigma portion of things. I am currently not working so answering the question "what do you do for a living" is a big fear of my stigma. I try and live in the present each and every day; the best few years have really sucked!
