2. Are you male or female? Female, last time I checked.

3. What country are you from? America. That's shameful and embarrassing enough.

6. How often are you online? Every. Single. Day.

7. Is your SA diagnosed? Yes. Along with other things.

10. What are your short-term and long-term goals? Eh. I can't think of anything, honestly. I guess just not dying is a goal. I'd also love to move out of the country. Preferably Canada. But that's more of a dream, than anything.

Shame? To be American, no shame. It is where you are. It may not be everything you support. Be tolerant that those who dislike America are reasons mostly based on the government of America, not its true citizens. All money, no truth.

4. What ethnicity are you? My mother is white, and father is Hispanic. Boring.

We all come from somewhere. Mother is American, father is Canadian. Positively, I exist in North America with the greatest unprotected border in the world. Open to correction.

I agree with you on the American Government. However, there are many of its citizens that I'm not too fond of either. Whether it's because of their bigoted views, or other reasons.

I'm jealous of where you reside.

Canada has its share of *******s, too. Come spend a week in my shoes and you'll see that there is no difference between the people of America and the people of Canada.

5. Absolutely not.
6. Once a day, depending on the day I may be on for five minutes or five hours it all depends on what is on the schedule for the day.
7. Sorry I don't have SA.
8. I have been diagnosed with agoraphobia, an extreme panic disorder, with a little bit of sociopathic tendencies sprinkled in for good measure. I have been on every kind of med there is including antiphcycotics. And have been brought by the police to a hospital where I would not hurt myself and others.
9. I work out tenaciously every day. I spend as much time as I can with my kids. I work as a butcher in a huge supermarket. I think all of these things keep me pretty ocupied, but I still have lots of panic attacks in between.
10. Shot term:To provide as much security and oppurtunity for my children. Long term:
To be normal one day, and maybe fall in love again.
Bonus. Of course I love cheese. It is my favorite food. Too bad I can't really eat very much of it because of my diet.
