When you join iVillage, you have the opportunity to fill out a profile with some information about who you are, your likes and dislikes, etc.

CUTE cute cute google eyed critters!! Love them! Well, I filled out some of my profile. Yay, I am now an official NON lurker *lol*.

I have to say I love the warm atmosphere here. There are friends I have that I always seem to feel self-conscious around (why haven't they called, Oh they went to dinner together and I feel left out, etc) so the sense of belonging here is SO awesome. Thank you to everyone that has been welcoming!

Sincerely,

kim

hi im jenna and im from the usa. im 20 years old and i like painting, photography, drawing, knitting, sewing, and making things in general. ive been into art since i was in 2nd grade and also enjoy music very much. mostly i like rock and indie. i like tarantino films, along with cartoons. the first time i had depression was in jr high and recently ive been evaluated with it again, though ive probably been depressed for about a year now. i also have a mild history of SI and more history of high anxiety (including anxiety attacks). sometiems its difficult because i have no family medical history; im adopted and have no traces of my family history. also im the only one in my adoptive family to have been diagnosed with depression. im new to ivillage so i will gradually be setting up my profile although im not sure if listing depressing, si and anxiety attacks are things i want to put in my profile for everyone right off. though it might actually be helpful. well ill give it some thought. after all its a part of me, and a key as to who i am.

Well that post certainly hit home. If people don't have the

time to do a profile do they really have time for the message

boards? Or perhaps they are only concerned with what they can

get and not what they can give? Does this make sense? Dunno.

So, checked into this message board through an ivillage letter

i received today. Thought to check it out because, well, i'm a

depressed person. Meaning i have mental health 'issues'. So how

do I get started with the members on this community? Don't want

to fall into the old trap of relaying too much info too soon.

Been telling professionals all my woes for thirty years. Get

tired of telling my story over and over. And, after such a long

time my story has turned into an 'epic'. LOL

For those who read this post: thank-you for your time. If you

need some of my time don't hesitate to call on me. Okay?

Thanks for the suggestion! I initially looked at the profile thing, and said "nah" but after your post I started checking others out and now I've started my own profile! Great idea!

peace and love,

Hi ladybug,

My niece got me to join ivillage 3 years ago when my husband died. She was co cl of walk it off at the time. Has since left that position. It will be 3 years this Sun, Oct. 31 that my husband died and I've been looking for a chat room for widows.

For some reason I just went back to ivillage tonight and found your support board. Have been reading some of the other messages and know I've found what I've been looking for.

I also have a cat, whose the love of my life. His name is Willy. I will be talking about him on other message boards as I've seen many I want to reply to. It was 11 pm when I first came on and it's now 2am . Willy has long gone to bed and think I'll do the same. nite all
