Mirazh Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hello. I have no dx at all, but a lifetime of issues with anxiety and depression, a bunch of teachers and counselors saying I should get tested for ADHD, I am also an abuse survivor (physical/emotional/controlling/spiritual) and my arms are covered in old SI scars (in remission for years but still fend off urges sometimes.) I have a tdoc and a lovely GP, the latter has known me my entire life and can read me like a book. I am currently on a med trial of whatever the Canadian name for Lexapro is for anxiety. Outwardly I appear rather functional right now, but I feel I am teetering on the edge of less so. This is why I seeked out therapy, my GP made the med suggestion and I have noticed a slight response. I am also ftm trans and came out to myself gradually over the past two years, starting to come out to close friends. That isn't crazy but it certainly interacts with my crazy in a big way. I am 25, Canadian, and have two cats though I currently live with four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirazh Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thank-you for the welcome. This place seemed so full of support, and in that I include both hand-holding and telling it like it is, I really need a space to help me out like that. Hopefully I will be able to keep myself actively participating to some degree, I have been obsessing over fears of my words being wrong in some way for years, hard to break free. I stumbled on CM first, researching my medication, found reading it really helpful. But I do not belong posting there, I do not think, this place seems much more my speed I hope. I am still trying to cope and overcome the fear that I do not belong, will be rejected, do not actually have a 'real problem,' etc. but sick and tired of being sick and tired. My life is work which is a great focus for me right now, need to start trying to live the rest of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 You belong around here (one of us! One of us!) Kidding. Seriously, you'll find we're a warm supportive bunch, we try to do what we can to welcome new people and give them the best of what we have got. Many people come here worried that they don't have 'enough' of a 'real' problem but we're here to support anyone who is struggling with any aspect of their mental health.
