There are no threads here in general that I can see, So I decided to make one.

Let's all get to know each other, shall we? :)

 

You can call me Treu (my name is actually Jo). I'm 19 years old, a bookkeeper, and attending community college. I'm a psych major. I found this site through deviantART. There is something wrong with me, but I'm not sure what it is. I've never been to a therapist. I feel as though I've a touch of everything, though anxiety plays a major role. I'm very insecure, and it's taking a lot to even post here. I keep worrying that this is a stupid topic, or no one will like me, or I'm breaking some rule I didn't see. (Yes, stupid things to worry about I know!) soo..please excuse if I ramble a bit, that's what I do when I'm nervous. And I stutter, but thankfully I'm typing so we don't have to worry about that. (I hope ;) )

 

So..tell me about yourself!
 

Hey Treu, Great idea making a thread like this, Good forward thinking :)

I'm Michael, most people call me Mitch but I answer to most things, just NOT Mike, You will get some serious evils if you call me that :P

I'm 21 and a trainee accountant, it's alright I guess, I get to play around with other peoples money which is good fun when it's not your own.

I found this place through the wonder that is MySpace! Lovely thing MySpace is, on there too much, I'm at work now actually so I'm getting paid to write this.

I generally suck at english so if my spelling is wrong, or grammer, or I use the wrong there/their/they're please don't hate me, I'm not stupid I've just never been able to get my head around it.

As Treu, I have never been to see anyone but I also feel I am not right or "normal", What is normal? Anyways less of that tangent for now. I'm very destructive sometimes, I will insult people and make them hate me so I don't have to have people that care around me, things are easier if no one cares, right?

Also I disappear alot from forums and that, sometimes I just "can't be bothered" and others I just want to be alone and away from everything so if I stop posting don't take offence, I'm likely to be around, just contact me through MySpace or something if you get that worried about me, not that you will but oh well

Anyways, about me, I love music, Music is best live! I've been to alot of shows this year and it has been amazing, Seeing Brand New 4 times in a week really was a great way to start the year, and getting to meet them was surreal!

Yes that's me, anything else you wanna know, just ask, I don't bite, hard ;)

Hello. My name is Jamie, 17, I'll be going back to college this year do traditional photography. I also found this through the vintage whiskey that is myspace.

I see a psychiatrist every week, they've helped me alot. I've been on medication since I went to hospital but have recently decided to stop as I want my mania back. I see things, hear things, have constant mood swings. I don't believe this is real. I also stutter, and have done since I was about 6, not as bad as it was but I still can't say my name or address. I wish I was born in 1945 so I could have lived my teenage years through 1960's england, not through the crap that is now. People don't say hello in the street, older people think I'm going to mug them as I'm a teenager, the constant supply of chavs is a downer.

I play Banjo and Guitar, though I havn't been in a band as of yet, only college bands when I was doing a music course. I love Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Massive Attack and so many others. Michael Palin is a legend, so is Syd Barrett. I love books, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Van Gogh's Letters, around the world in 80 days... I'm in love with Alexa Chung haha.

There are so many other things for me to say but I think that should be sufficient.

Love.

Hi Jamie,

I adore 1984, it's one of the very few books I've managed to re-read and not be bored by it. What other books do you suggest in that category, I'm always on the look out for new books. I've read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and A Handmaid's Tale by Margret Atwood, both really good reads :)

Yello people I just joined like 5minutes ago lol

Well I'm Faith, I'm 15 and from the north of England and I can't think of anything else to say

Hi, I'm Alex, (Lexi, whatever), I'm 15

 and I am sort of a tree hugger environmentalist, i love to sing, act, and dance and am obsessed with Broadway.

My favorite Broadway Play is the Scralet Pimpernel. Anyone heard of it? Not many people I know have. I also love the Scarlet Pimpernel books By baroness Orczy.

That's another thing. I love books. LOVE them. It's quite unnatural. My favorites (some of them, at least) are: The Princess Bride, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Speak, It's Kind of a Funny Story, ect. (I'll think of more later and wonder why I didn't write them down : ) )

I love movies. I am very interested in film and have a family member who works in it, so I've learned everything about filmmaking from them. I love the movies: Big Fish, American Beauty, Peices of April, Everything is Illuminated, The Hard Way, Box of Moonlight, Beverly Hills Cop, and many, many more. Many. : )

Well, I'm Blair I'm 25 and currently live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.

I've moved around a fair bit. I was born in Miami, lived there for 2 years, then moved to Connecticut and lived there for 3 years, then Oakville Ontario for 7, then up to Barrie (been here for the better part of 13 years ) i was out in Banff for 3 years.

 I love to snowboard and sk8board (hence the name boarder_kid) i ike swimming (get out to do that about 4 nights a week ), rollerblading, travelling, concerts.

I currently work at a bank as a teller, its a pretty decent job. I cant really think of anything else to say right now, so i geuss if you wanna know something, just ask 

 

uh I'm chris.  im just about 18 years old, born in a suburb of philadelphia.  im in my senior year of high school.  the word "school" basically has a negative connotation to it in my vocabulary. it's the reason iv been depressed for these seven months so far.  well, i guess i should say the people in the school are the reason iv been depressed.  iv been having troubles for the past seven months with too many things.  iv been feeling very unstable for these months, just crazy.  daily things are hard to come by for some reason now.  i don't even really know why. i got depressed in the beginning of summer and it never went away.  i haven't seen a therapist or doctor or anything because i have never had the courage to talk to a family member about it.  as the days keep going by im starting to realize that it's kind of more of a necessity for me to get help for my own good instead of continue to try and beat it on my own.  the fact that it's been seven months and i still feel crazy in many ways is sort of an incentive now for me to try to get help.  also i think iv lost a great deal of the willpower i held in the beginning, so now the idea of taking prescription anti depressants doesn't freak me out as much anymore.  daily things are just so much more confused now.  the feeling that i can't do certain things that i used to do like listen to my music, play my guitar, read, write... is an incredibly bad feeling.  i mean, i used to go listen to my music or play my guitar when i was feeling depressed, but i guess this is just a more severe kind of depression that i never knew could happen to me, with a whole new set of rules.  im just sick of feeling the way i have been and want the depression over with once and for all.
