I was very excited to find this place and have been reading as much as I can. I've bookmarked it and intend to stay and get to know the posters here.

I have a lot of mental health problems that I've been ignoring for years and of course they just aren't going to go away. I cope as best I can. I've never told anyone in my life about them, which is why I'm so excited to be here where I can talk about them.

I'm in my mid-50s, married twice now, and enjoy gardening and photography. I'm female, by the way...sometimes it's hard to tell who is male or female by their name on the internet. I have no idea why I chose "boing" for my username! I have two cats, am definitely a cat person, though the cats and I find dogs to be amusing on occasion.

I look forwarding to getting to know everyone and hope I don't talk your ears off.

Just started today and I too understand having mental problems - I got knock down with severe depression et al. I am sure you already know that depending on doctor or treatment plan everyone has a different label.
I like to look at it as being special - very sensitive and more importantly, you are not alone!

I beginning to love this site myself - wish I had a computer at home but I'll take what I can and thankful my job allows me to use theirs.

Have many great moments throughout your day! I always found that if I thought in moments it got me through those DIFFICULT times.

Regards - from a new friend!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
