Hi PsychForums,

My cousin told me about this site & said it would be helpful to me. I think she came on here once for depression help. I'm here for more severe problems. (Although, if she heard me say that she'd probably smack me.) I don't have much of a support system. The people around me don't really take my problems too seriously although my cousin is fairly understanding about my depressive symptoms, she doesn't understand my other problems.

Anyway, for a brief introduction, I'm 23 years old, from Philadelphia. I'm here because I deal with Depression, Anorexia Nervosa & Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (Or so my therapist thinks, its hard to distinguish between the PD & the anxiety disorder, they are so similar.)

I hope I can find some help & empathy here.

Hello Chinese Butterfly, welcome to the forum. I'm sure you will find much help and empathy here.

I too struggle with depression and an eating disorder (Bulimia) so I can definitely relate to you there. I also have DID which is caused by extreme childhood trauma.

I hope you find the help you need here.

Nice to meet you Chinese Butterfly

Take care, Leona
