amialone48 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi! I'm (obviously) new here. I apparently registered in 2010, but never got the courage to post. I'm really shy, so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post, but I wanted to try anyway because this seems like a really helpful and supportive forum. I am 25 years old. I am an artist, but am currently on disability benefits due to my mental health issues. I am on the autism spectrum. I have been struggling with depression for at least ten years, maybe longer. I am attempting to recover from anorexia nervosa, which I have dealt with for about ten years. I am also in recovery from self-harm, after probably twelve or thirteen years and after thinking I never could or wanted to recover. I also have been struggling with OCD for about fifteen years. I am currently seeing a therapist, a dietician, and a psychiatrist. And I think I have finally found medications that work for me -- Viibryd and Risperidone. So I am pretty stable, and have been for a number of months now. It's really new and weird for me. Anyways, that's a bit about me for my obligatory introduction.
