Tell Me a Little About Yourselves...

Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far! I wanted to start a thread to get to know you, who are comfortable describing yourselves. As for myself, I'm a 42 year old female from the USA. I'm a 90% self-healed trauma survivor who's working on the other 10% of herself. I'm a mental health advocate, who works in healthcare, and who is hoping to get into the mental health field some day. It's truly a passion of mine to help others in dark places. My username depicts the balance between my Yin & Yang personality, which is a protector of all things in my life.

Hello DMF! Welcome. I am a mod here. Nice to meet you. I am old guy who has BP and OCD and some other things which play a lesser role in my life. I am glad you are 90% healed. Good luck on the rest of your 10%!

Hello and thank you! I appreciate it. BP being Bipolar or Borderline Personality Disorder? Some people shorten both which could mean one or the other. I also have OCD, and think a majority of the world has some OCD to a point. Mine's not as extreme as some others, but it runs in my family.

Question: Do all the posts have to be approved or is that just a newbie thing? Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi DarkMoonFairy

Yes, you will need to have a few more posts approved by a moderator first before you are allowed to post freely on the forum. Helps us keep the forum safe from spammers and trolls. At the moment I am here at some point almost every day approving posts.

Cheers
Lily

Yes.

And have a wonderful day yourself.

Okay, thank you so much for your response.

Hi!

A bit about myself: I'm a guy in his 20s who likes art and watching youtube videos. I'm not sure about my diagnoses as they have changed over the years and my current psychiatrist doesn't find it of the utmost importance to find the exact diagnoses for me. Right now her primary concern is dealing with the one diagnosis that seems undeniable and the source of most of my suffering (psychotic depression), as well as my SH and suicidal thoughts. I'm supposed to start therapy again soon but I don't have a therapist yet.
