Me and now you...

Hello,

Its been a long time getting here. I am 31 and have had untreated issues for a long time, over 15 years. I was on ADHD medicine back in junior and high school but I have never been treated for my social phobia.

Tomorrow I am going for the first time to a doctor about it. I am freaking out to say the least. To make it worse, I am poor and having to go to a medicaid provider. They clinic had a crazy answering service and yeah.. It was a nightmare!

I just graduated from college and cannot find work which is making my home life stressful. Its getting better though. I am married and have a 5 year old and other than this, and some depression/OCD/Bipolar stuff (who knows what all is wrong) I am happy and fine. I am tired all the time and its just getting worse. I want to be free!

I am considering medication for the first time and cannot wait. I just dont want to walk into that clinic.

I hate TV and love to read. I like to get out but its becoming harder and harder these days. I like movies and people. I like to cook and talk and discuss life.

I know many people have it worse than me and I am thankful there is hope and that I am so far surving. I am excited to have found this place!

I look forward to getting to know some of ya'll! oh and I am in fort worth, Texas!

Hey!

Forums are never really my thing, cuz I run out of stuff to talk about!

I do not really like talking about myself but I feel free here. It is good to have people who understand around! It makes it somehow different. Maybe it also that this forum seems to be full of people who.. are more real and are nicer. Wow, as an English major I really wrecked that sentance!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I think I will like it here!

Hello Ray 🙂 I'm new here too. This is a really nice forum and the people here are very understanding. I love it here so far and I think you will too 🙂

It is hard to have hope, but yeah I think I will too! It is really complicated to explain yourself in a few words, huh?

Thanks for making me feel welcome!

Yay! Another 30+ year old. That makes me feel like I belong too!

Ya know, I am great with being 30! I thought I would hate it, but there is so much less drama in life. I am glad I am not the old man on the computer. I certainly do not feel my age.

oh and smurfette was a made smurf. Check it out, Smurfette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

weird stuff! just like me!

^ Never knew that. Very interesting 🙂

yeah so.. where did the other smurfs come from?

Papa Smurf has a secret! ha ha!

Welcome. 🙂

Congrats on your part lol

Hello,

Welcome nicely here:) Good luck with your steps to go clinic and i hope u will find solutions of your issues. 15 years woah this is very long i struggle with that 8 years and i feel my live is totally disaster. That i miss so much beuatiful things what live propose to me. I feel really skeptic,totaly pesimistic about myself. Atleast u was able have family,son and wife this is great almost u are like people what are i will call them normal ha. I guess some people never had relations here. I had but i anyway destroy everything with my anxiety. Really cool oportunities. =o(

Thanks DS,

it is a long time, but all that matters is its getting better
