    About Me

    i grew up in a small west michigan town. i loved it. now i live in a bigger city and its ok, but i prefer the outdoors and privacy more. i'm with a good man for 2 1/2 years now. i work almost full time hours at a decent job. i guess i'm here to connect with people of the same intrest, background, obstacles, or whatever.

    Interests

    i enjoy to garden, sew, take photographs, play video games, computers, camping, boating, fishing, tennis, hiking, going to the park, all kinds of music, also, being with family and friends. there are many things i enjoy to do, too many to name!

      From Hoopsie April 6

      Sometimes I think I make up problems in my own head about things; I've been told I overanalyze situations, but I don't know... everything just seems to hurt so much. I can't right now, but I'm going to write you a message

    • Close Self-Injury

      I've been cutting for almost 10 years now. I used to cut quite frequently, but now I do it a lot less. When I'm doing it, it relieves something. But the next day I think back and say "what the hell was I thinking?" I get embarassed by my marks, but I just can't seem to quit. My depression is consuming my life.

      I used to be totally against mood enhancers but when I started my pills I found that it really helped. Well it worked for a few months but hasnt done anything lately for me. Im not sure what the normal doseage is maybe thats my problem not enough.
