Hester Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I've been on here a couple of weeks, but I am just getting to saying hello...! I guess I just wanted to settle in a bit first and be sure I was here to stay before I introduced myself. I like this forum a lot. It's really helped distract me recently, and I needed that. It's fun and friendly too. So, my name is Zoe, I'm 34, and I just moved to Nebraska from the UK 3 weeks-ish ago. I am a newly wed and very happy with my hubby. I am a step-mom but not a mom yet. I was dx bipolar in 2013, after nearly 20 years of of dx of recurrent depression and strange behavior that was put down to a personality disorder. I get psychotic symptoms sometimes, and I have fairly bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts. My highs are more mixed that euphoric unfortunately. I used to cycle in big cycles - now they are getting shorter and more often. Lithium works well for me, though my new pdoc is planning to see if they can find a better drug for me. We shall see. I am a big reader, I love to learn and study, I love pets and all animals. I find it hard to socialize with large groups, but I love hanging out with nice people in groups of 2 or 3. I do enjoy company when it feels safe. I love movies but I don't even own a TV. I like some TV shows on Netflix etc though. I have a lot of tattoos. I like to think I'm pretty friendly and a smiley person, though I feel very anxious inside a lot of the time! Anyway, hello all. It has been great to be made to feel so welcome so far.

Hester Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 There were some clashes with other Zoes which made things confusing. I now have a new name. Should stop it from happening again hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
