hi all...
glad to meet u all & be a fellow pioneer on this forum...
i believe i was born with depressive anxiety as my mother & others on her side also live(d) with this disorder...
i'm also just realising that there was probably asperger's on my dad's side & this has filtered thru to other members of my family, too...
anyway, just a short snapshot of me @ this stage as i don't want to blab everything on our first 'date'

Hi janM. You made me smile with the "first date" comment. It certainly is a bit like at first for sure. What do I disclose, when do I start to open up. I like your font and color choice (that's like choosing what clothes to wear on a first date hehehehehe).
I am looking forward to reading more of your adventures with mental health.

Hey, everyone!
I know it's been quite a while since you last posted. However, coming past, I really wanted to check in to see how you are all going.
