Hi! I'm jan! Your co-cl posting from hot & humid NW PA.

For now, I'm a sahm, but have sent my resume out to begin looking @ returning to my nursing career.


I lurk on alot of boards dealing w/mental health issues. Most of my nursing career has been in mental health. In the early 90's I was treated for a clinical depression w/thoughts of suicide. Since I had lived through this awful experience & survived! I felt I could support others in need. This kind of back-fired, because you folks have given so much more to me! I love coming here & finding the reassurance that I am NOT alone!


Who's next??? LOL

I guess I'll be it now. lol

I'm Caitlin & I'm from Ohio, the place where the weather can change every 5 second. LOL seriously. Anyways I found this place around March I think. wow can It be that long. Everybody here has helped me a lot and for that I Thank Them. I'm not sure where I got my depression from, I think mostly from verbal abuse, but I've had it I think since I was around 12 or 13 but not diagnosed until Aprilish when I hit rock bottom From then It got real bad, due to things going on...Men. lol I never thought I'd let someone like that get to me. But now I'm going to Therapy every 2 weeks and on an anti-depressant. I've noticed a change in me, and so have people around me. Family & Friends have noticed that I've changed I'm more alive and talkative I guess. Before I just sat around and didn't say much but apparently I say what I want to know and speak up more. huh have not noticed. But anyways thats my story, and that I'm in Love with Gary Allan... LOL

Hi this is Rosaura. I am writing from Europe. I am an attorney (very fresh one but still..) and a survivor of sexual assault. I found the board last June/July quite by accident while I was going through severe depression with suicidal thoughts. Everybody here has been so amazing. They really made a difference, prompting me to find the right therapist who has worked wonders. I came to consider some people on this board as dear dear friends who know my story and offer support without ever judging me. For a while now I have finally managed to get myself back on track. Sometimes I get derailed (see new guy incident) and all my insecurities come back to me but more or less I have started resembling my old self. Latest mini crisis lasted a week and a half before I came to my senses again and that for me is great progress. So, once again I really want to thank all my friends on this board. Hope we will be in touch even when no shoulder to cry is urgently needed. Love ya all and hope you are having a fantastic summer. I am having a great one myself, it just took me a while to realize :-)
Hugs
Rosaura

PS new guy is crawling right now but he resembles an ant when I have some time I'll update. Eleanor Rossevelt used to say that nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. What a wise, wise woman she was.

Hey Darla! Thanks! This is one of my favorite quotes, and it is soooooo true. Well, I am taking advantage of my unlimited fast internet access while I still have it. Come tomorrow the uni connection goes dead so I'll have to do with the old fashioned dial up. Oh well. Congratulations on your anniversary. Saw the pic. You guys make a gorgeous couple. My warmest wishes for a fantastic life together.
Take care Darla
Hugs
