1. Why did you choose your username?
2. What is your religion (if any)?
3. What country do you originate from?
4. What MH issue did you come here for? (for who)


1. It's like a female alternate version of the guitarist from my favourite band, Panic! At The Disco. The old guitarist's name was George Ryan Ross so I twisted it into Georgina Rian Ross.
2. I'm not sure. I don't think you can call it a religion when you don't have faith. I think there's someone responsible for the world and the universe, but whoever it is, I don't like them very much.
3. I'm from England.
4. I've never been to a doctor or therapist so I'm not diagnosed with anything but I've tried to kill myself and I've been self harming for over four years.

1. Why did you choose your username? I wish I had some deep reason, but it was simply my email address for when I ran Yoga classes over the summer

2. What is your religion (if any)? Yoga is my spiritual practice and Buddhist philosophy resonates with me, though I don't subscribe to organized religion.

3. What country do you originate from? US

4. What MH issue did you come here for? BPD until I was re-dx-ed with Histrionic Personality Disorder

1. It's a nickname I was given. My name is Shay, but I get called "Shaytanic" based on my answer for number 2.
2. A strange melding of LaVeyan Satanism, Thelemic/Chaos Magick, Quantum Physics, & a healthy dose of skepticism.
3. US.
4. Various things that have affected me more & less at different times. Mood fluctuations, psychosis, ASPD/NPD, sex addiction, pure-O OCD. Really, I just keep coming back to talk about myself in semi-anonymity hahaha.

1. My name was inspired by an old comedy show "Mork & Mindy". Mork, an alien, would say, "shezbut" whenever frustrated.

2. I'm agnostic

3. USA

4. Major depression, history of SA & EA, PTSD (and/or??) BPD. I've battled and beat major anxiety and panic disorder in the past. I enjoy sharing my experiences or knowledge to help others feel better.

3. USA
4. I came here for autism (high functioning not Asperger's Syndrome but now a days its closer to Asperger's compared to when I was a child), schizoaffective bipolar type, Generalized anxiety disorder, when the anxiety gets very, very severe I get conversion disorder (in case you don't know what that is it means having physical neurological symptoms that are caused by psychological and not actual physical causes. I get the seizures and jerking of body movements.. when I was a child my leg would shake 24 hours a day non stop), I also get some dissociative problems as well. The problems are for myself. Also my dad has an anxiety disorder and Asperger's Syndrome.

Everytime I see the "Who are you?" I think of this song.

CSI for life! I posted the music video and not the CSI intro because that can be triggering.

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

By Emily Dickinson

Interesting thread. I enjoyed getting to know people better. Found out shezbat's name means what I thought it did and nams has nothing to do with that terrible war.

1. Why did you choose your username? It's a nickname I got in real life a long time ago because I love hot weather.

2. What is your religion (if any)? Was raised Roman Catholic but have believed in it for many, many years. The topic of religion/Chriatianity is triggery for me now due to experiences I had. I consider myself spiritual, but not religious if that makes sense. I believe that what we put out into the world comes back to us. I believe in an interconnectedness of all beings.

3. What country do you originate from? Born in the USA. Raised in a state of chaos. Now live in the southern US and am considered a semi-native in my state.

4. What MH issue did you come here for? (for who) Came here for myself way back when due to depression, SI, abuse history, was in an abusive marriage and DID

just a little fun

me ->

1. Welcome To The Jungle is the name of the first song on Guns N' Roses' first album, "Appetite For Destruction" (my favourite band)
2. Not sure, but met likely some sort of Spiritual Evolutionary
3. England, UK
4. Schizophrenia/psychosis, Depression, OCD, Depersonalisation for myself

You obviously don't have to answer, but I thought it would be a little fun and interesting

1. I used to be known as Cruztacean, which is a play on both my maiden name (Cruz) and my astrological sign (Cancer the Crab.) But when I met my husband, it soon became obvious I would not be a Cruz much longer. Nor would I continue to be a hard-shelled animal. We were Lovebirds. Flying.

2. I am a Christian but not wedded to any one denomination. I am currently a member of a Baptist church, but there are other churches I would feel equally at home in.

3. USA.

4. I have battled depression/anxiety since I was about 6 years old. Also PTSD from childhood abuse, BPD, and a strong possibility of Asperger's, but I'm not bothering with the formal diagnostic process.

Great thread! Got to read about everyone and there was some very interesting answers. Love it! ::

1. Why did you choose your username? I really don't know. I guess I think my heart has always been guarded with the hardest metal I can think of.

2. What is your religion (if any)? I am very spiritual but I am not part of any organized religion. I believe Jesus existed and read a lot about his teachings even though I don't call myself a Christian. I joined BeliefNet.org and did a quiz to find out what I am closest to and it came out unitarian, which I have been looking into, and it is interesting to see another person like that on here.

3. What country do you originate from? My parents came from Guyana, but I was born in the U S of A and lived here all my life.

4. What MH issue did you come here for? (for who) Mainly Bipolar because that is what I was diagnosed. But I battle with Depression and Alcohol Abuse too

I chose this for an old blog a few years ago. It was during a time I felt I was only existing for the sake of others. Lady Jane is for anonymity, 4Rent is how I felt... a lady to rent out for all your cooking, cleaning, income-ing, etc needs.
I don't believe in Religion.
I am from Staten Island, NY but grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida and now reside in the mountains up north. US
I am here for myself.. it is a huge support for me while staying sober
