Newbie Introductions

Welcome to psychforums.

Tell us alittle about yourself. We'd love to meet you and say howdy.

Yeah...um, i'm a newbie.

A little about myself.....hmm.

I'd like to build a log cabbin out in the bush.
I'm not very fond of my wrist watch.
I drink too much and too often.

LOL, Jamie shows sense of humuor*..........

WElcome Jamie.

My name is Karyn...
I am not a stranger to the mental health system. I like getting my writings published in the newsletter for the day-treatment program I belong to. They're still a very small clinic, but they're adding some new features and it's getting better. I'd like to use my writing talent to help other people with mental illness. I'm not sure about a career yet. I'm still in my twenties. I am eager to get more involved with this website.

Hi Karen,

Welcome and take a look around, we've got all kinds of forums, hit show all forums, and after that you'll get notifiers for that forum so you can keep up with your topics, and those of interest.

The best way to get around daily is show new posts. I love that feature. It keeps me on my toes with the members and is much easier to read than most forums.

I hope you like it here , we look forward to hearing about you and sharing with you.

Hello,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is owen and I'm looking for some ideas to help me support my wife who had BDD.

I believe one of the first questions that any sufferer of mental illness asks is, "Is it just me?" This site is proof that, actually, no it's not.

I'll have a look round and post a few things and see how it goes.

Welcome Owen to Psych forums.

Hi. I made a post on here a few months ago, but I was too scared to go back to it because I felt stoopid. XD; However, I have returned, and hopefully, I won't run away this time!

I'm an 18-year-old weirdo from the UK with depressive tendencies. I've never been diagnosed with anything, but hating yourself and telling yourself you ought to be dead for nine years isn't exactly indicative of a healthy mind, is it? ^_^; It would be nice to know exactly what is wrong me so that then I could just shut up and get on with it and concentrate on making everybody else happy, but I'm too scared to go and see anyone about it because I'm a wimp of DOOOOM. XD Actually, one of my reasons for not going is that I'm really, really bad at communicating my thoughts and I'm terrified of making an idiot out of myself and upsetting/angering other people. (This is why I tend not to stay on online forums for more than a week ^_^; but obviously, I'm hoping to stay on here longer than that)

I tend to be quite quiet about my 'problems', especially offline, as I don't like to bring people down with me, but I also have an attitude which says, "Yes, I'm mad, bonkers, insane, loony, whatever you wanna call me! And if you don't like it, you can b***** off and hang out with the boring normal people =P" A lot of my personality seems to be self-contradictory, actually... one minute I'll be ranting and raving about how stupid and worthless I am, the next I'll be laughing in the face of someone who just insulted me because I'll think they're pathetic for doing so.

Anyway, this post is probably as long as the river Nile now, so I'll stop babbling and let you all get on with your lives. Cheerio~! =D

I'm 21, male, from Washington State. I'm currently single, just recently got out of a serious relationship. I graduated high school in '03, I've only worked one job for one year, and I've done a little bit of college, which I'll be going back to this month. Don't really have any hobbies to speak of. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to post about my problems on here. I'm already seeking help outside the Internet by getting a referral to see a psychiatrist. But I feel like I need an outlet and could use some advice, so I may post something, or I might just browse. But I just thought I'd post an intro here first.
