    • Close Hepatitis C

      not much to tell. I was notified by blood bank about 10 yrs ago. I was a nurse for 13 yrs, then a lab tech for another 8. Could have picked it up anywhere. So far I'm asymptomatic. Terrified.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      oh, so long and boring. Clinical depression for 14 yrs. Been through it all, and yet I'm sure there's more. So odd, this thing. I'm a happy person, have lots of interests. But then...dun dun duuuun. These horrible feelings pop up, exhausting, and for no reason. After all these years, still can't figure it out.
