Hi. I'm David. I'm 33 and will be turning 34 this fall. I father two boys that live with their mother, my former wife. I live with two other guys in an upper luxary apartment suite. Our passion is food, television, and computers. We also love to travel, but prefer to have someone else do the driving/flighing for us. Otherwise it's like Toonses The Cat or driving adventures with Miss Daisy. Also, I have no sense of direction other than up and down; everything else is just sideways to me. I'm fatter than my dad (this wasn't the case 6 months ago, before I quit smoking). I need to lose some serious weight to ease the pressure off of my back AND stomach. Also have had GERD/LPRD from time to time, but not as much anymore. Have anxiety issues, usually stemming from procrastination. Currently taking Citalopram for it (Celexa) and it seems to be helping. I'm the kind of person who loves to start a project, and keep it going, sometimes never finishing it. Also very detailed oriented. I go off into a tangent, and totally miss the point sometimes. I like to do one thing at a time, or I'll confuse myself; multi-tasking is definitely not for me. I think this was cause by someone hitting me square center in the forehead with a croque mallet (accidentally) when I was 7 year old. Got a nice huge bump from it that lasted for a month. My parents never took me to the doctor or anything. I suffered many headaches and virtigo illnesses from that. I was literally dizzy until I was 15 (I never told anyone that I was because I was too embarressed). This adversly effected my grades at school, because I really never recovered from it until high school (then I suffered from hyper erectile function- I would be pitching tents every class and between because of all the cute guys and hot chicks; but I guess that's normal (?) I never got in trouble for the extra visual; I guess the teachers thought it was cute or something). I feel that I'm alone in the universe with my little idiosyncracies, but I suppose there's a few folks out there who have had similiar experiences, I'm praying will reach out to me some day. I have like a serious obsessive compulsive thing, where sometimes I think of the same thing over and over again, usually a situation that happened in the past; I would go over it in my mind as if I could change it, usually a mistake I've made, or a person who was nasty to me (I would visualize their demise (not death!), in a most humorous way, of course, or I would think of a way to get even with them in that et tu brute kind of way). Is there a medication or natural suppliment for motivation? I definitely need it! Also, could someone please build a time machine so I can go back and fix all my mistakes? I'd appreciate it! Any helpful suggestions to overcome my mental conditions, improve my health and remedy the illnesses are welcomed. P.S.- It probably took hours just to write this short synopsis of myself, even this P.S. part, because I had to go back and reread it several times to see if it looked ok. Call me crazy.
I love computers. Totally into computer networking and computer operating systems (Linux). I love to cook. Put me in a kitchen and I'm yours for the day. Yummy, tastes like chicken! Favorite all time #1 movie is The Lion King. #2 is Anger Management. There's something about Adam Sandler I find very inspiring. Love all his movies too. #3 Definitely is Titanic (Leo is hot!). #4 Star Trek Wrath of Khan. #5 Star Wars (Ep. 4-6, the original series!). #6 E.T... I have yet to make a complete listing of the top 10 of my all time favorites, because I know something better will eventually come out. Also a huge Zecharia Sitchin fan (but NOT a believer of his works; I believe life will continue well after 2012 and into the 2400 century!)

thnx 4 ur add 2 my journal!
Have not been diagnosed or treated for hypothyroidism yet, but I feel that my steady weight gain and loss of energy over the past couple years may be caused by this condition.
Have had TMJ for a couple years now. The pain comes and goes with different severity.
I've had panic attacks in the past, but since I've been on Celexa, I'm fine. Been taking it for a year now.
Been bisexual all my life and have mostly homosexual tendancies. I still think chicks are hot, but think guys are hotter. I don't dote or make being bisexual obvious; if you choose to do so, then that's just part of who you are, not a behavoral problem like some others think. I used to be married too and have 2 children. Besides that, I'm normal, and feel that anyone else who is gay, lesbian, transgender, straight or bisexual as normal too.
I'm bi and proud! Didn't know this support group existed (sorry)! Glad I joined.
