I'm really, really please to find this group.

It beats all heck out of trying to discuss mental health issues with the woo-woos in a certain forum.

Depression, probably my entire life. Some OCD characteristics. Very bad social skills, no matter how hard I tried. Still, I managed to be an academic and business hot shot until things got too much to handle, about 10 years ago. Hid in my house for about a year and a half, spent most of my savings. Took some courses and started a new profession. Hanging on by fingernails in most important areas of my life.

Back later. Must catch last train.

1. Glad you found us, MrMonk!.....

:-)

The hanging on by fingernails is how most of us probably feel here a lot of the time!

4. Welcome

I post here occasionally, usually check the group regularly.
I have (severe, IMO) ADHD and depression. Most of us have been there and done that in this group, so we'll be able to add our two cents.
