Just thought it would be a good idea for people to get to know people on here

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)

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

I'm from the good ol' U S of A. Columbus Ohio.

4. What MH issue did you come here for? (for who)

Came here for myself. I'm schizophrenic.

Why did I choose this username. Its my real name and I tend to be automatically honest.
Religion? Due to conflicting beliefs to the religion I was born into and then married into another.....I don't feel connected to a specific one ATM.
Country of origin? Born Canadian - fathers parents from Ireland / Mothers parents from England.
What issue am I here for? - I have a very odd relationship problem, my brother had ended his life and I like to help others.

1. I felt like I didn't really have a clear idea of my identity, still don't, so a user name was tricky for someone who is just some girl also maybe a bit of a nod to 'just A girl' by No Doubt I guess, on a subconscious level... Or something!

2. Raised C of E. Slightly militant atheist for many years. Now open to the idea of spirituality and some kind of 'god'... Energy. No religion, but I appreciate some of the teachings of Buddhism.

3. England. Still here.

4. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks... What I call my 'quarterlife crisis'... SI, binge eating/purging... Possible borderline personality disorder or at least some traits of it due to upbringing, also it seems I've been dissociating... Exploring these issues in therapy (after finally having some kind of breakdown) and boy is it a tangled web. Hopefully starting to make sense of it all now. Hoping to return to a capable and functioning state, and to create some kind of life for myself.
