PinkCloud Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well, I just thought I'd maybe make an introduction post. I already posted but now I think I'll do this, too. I joined today because my friend suggested that I do so! I'm generally wary slash terrified of posting online but you've all been super welcoming so far, so that helps! I have depression, PTSD, some sort of anxiety disorder, and panic attacks. My little brother and father both have Schizophrenia. I'm currently on Lexapro 20mg and my post before was referencing the mania side effects I've been having so I'm going to discuss that with my doctor. I take Xanax when my anxiety becomes too overwhelming. I love my dog more than anything or anyone and she's the best thing to happen to me. She's better than any medication, or exercise, or therapy I've ever had. I couldn't live without her and she seems to feel the same way. A bad habit I have is typing out responses to things online, then deleting what I typed because I'm too anxious to post. I hope to overcome that here. I'd also like to get to a point in this where I'm not awake all night and where I can enjoy my passions and hobbies again. I'd also like to make more friends. So, hi. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix_Rising Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hello and Welcome to Crazyboards! If you haven't already done so, please take a minute to read the Rules. You can find a link to them in the lower right hand corner of this page. Dogs are pretty great. I have three of them. I hope you will be able to overcome your fear of responding to posts. I think this is a very supportive environment. Take care and see you on the Boards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amialone48 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Welcome to CrazyBoards! I relate to your fear of posting -- I registered back in 2010, but didn't get the courage to post here until the last month or so. But CB is a really welcoming and supportive place. And I have found that the more I post, the easier it gets, especially once I got over the initial fear of posting my introduction. (I still haven't started any new threads -- I've just been responding to posts -- but maybe some day I will do that, too.) I have a dog, too, and I've often said the same thing, that she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. So it's nice to read that someone else feels the same way about their dog. Dogs are really great. Again, welcome to CB! I hope you enjoy your stay here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
