Kaiserin Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi everyone. I kind of stumbled upon this board while I was doing some research on my meds. I took to it right away because I like the overall attitude of the board. I've actually been to other mental health related boards and just didn't feel like I fit in. From what I've read so far it seems as though people around here have a pretty good sense of humor. For a while I've wanted a place online where I could engage with others who are in similar positions as myself, since I find it hard to be open about my disorders with people in real life (excluding my brother and my mother). In fact, I don't even know anyone in real life who has the kind of mental health issues I have, so there isn't anyone who can directly relate. Anyway, I suppose I should intro with my dx. I'm MDD with occasional bouts of anxiety. I'm on Prozac (20 mg), and Xanax (0.5 mg taken occasionally) and I was just recently placed on Adderall (10 mg) - recently as in two days ago - because I've been having some pretty difficult concentration issues for a while. I discussed it with my pdoc the other day and he decided to give me the Adderall. Oh -- and I'm 27 and female. Glad to be here.. I think I'll have some fun here.

Kaiserin Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi Kaiserin Pretty name. Welcome. I think you'll find things pretty real around here. See you around! Hi Sunshine... thanks re: the name. It's not my real name... I just always thought it sounded pretty cool and it means "Empress" in German, so what's not to love about that? This place definitely seems more "real" -- I think I had read something in the rules or whatever that this board isn't all about "cyberhugs" and shit. I laughed out loud at that. It kind of makes me ill to get all sappy and stuff when I'm talking about mental health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally people don't pull any punches. And you'll find there's a lot of smart, funny posts - I seem to find myself laughing a lot here. Welcome!
