    About Me

    I have suffered with depression, ocd, anxiety since i was a teenager. I am looking for support or just a place to vent my frustrations. I would like to learn more about coping strategies, etc.

    Interests

    I am an avid reader and I love to sing and write poetry. I love movies, museums, different cultures. I also like nature, fishing, thanks to my boyfriend Pat...Love him lots!!! I love and crave knowledge!! I love indie music and off the wall movies, especially directors David Lynch, John waters, Pedro Almodovar, etc....I have certain friends who introduce me to cool things... I love to eat sushi, seafood, italian, ethiopian, etc...I also would love to travel to the east coast and Europe.... I'm still trying to figure out a career that suits me, I love music so I do want to get into a band a maybe become a counseler...I have a caring heart so I want to help others in need... I'm an open-minded, fun-loving gal, who does have a flighty sense of humor, when I'm not depressed, lol!!
