politicat Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi, I'm Politicat- I like politics and cats- how clever! I posted a few without introducing myself. I'm 37, F, just moved to CO to live with family after many years in San Francisco. I've been depressed since age 12, so- major depression (dysthymia, anhedonia), anxiety, probably BPD, social phobia, recovering alcoholic (sober now for three months). I just applied for SSI for these issues- I've barely been able to hold a job in the past. But I don't DO a lot of crazy things- it's all in my head. In theory I'm very BPD, but it's pretty much all to myself. Anyway, I'm shy but I'm also bored, so here I post.

That sounds like me I STILL haven't posted an introduction - was too scared to draw attention to myself when I joined, and now it's too late Welcome to CB Hope you stick with us.

tryp Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I daresay people know that I'm BPD, but there is still a LOT of shit that just stays in my head. Took my pdoc months to figure out the scope of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choosing_the_blue_pills Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Welcome to CB! I also waited a while before posting an introduction, around two months. Probably should have done it earlier. Great you have beean keeping sober for three months, keep up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyzr Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hey Politicat. I'm so glad you're staying sober. Great job! I like cats and politics too! And Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite writer. Looks like we have a couple things in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiedToAMemory Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Welcome, politicat! Congrats on your recovery from alcoholism- my dad had the same problem and those first three months are quite a feat. If you have things you need to get off your chest in the future, you'll find this boards members very understanding and supportive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
