You guys are incredibly brave to write all this down. I wish everyone the best of luck with all their endeavors.
Let's see:
My name is Amy. I am 42. I will have been married for 24 years on December 5th, and I have 2 children (a girl - 20yr. and a boy - 17 yr.)
I have always been painfully shy and socially awkward. School was a nightmare. I've suffered from clinical depression since I was 12, and it got so bad when I entered high school, that my parents feared I would commit suicide and had me taken out. I was 15, so I needed a note from a psychiatrist saying I was unfit to attend school, and the school provided home tutoring until the end of the school year. I quit the next year, and went to GED classes. I got my equivalency diploma about 6 months before I would have graduated. I worked at an animal shelter until I was 17, when I met my white knight.:)
Bouts of depression come and go. I'd managed to avoid meds until quite recently when I started getting panic attacks. If you've ever had one of those, you know they're impossible to ignore. Prozac seems to be working quite well for the long term.
I am a liberal, an atheist, and a total non-conformist. I'm not good in social situations, but when it comes to business matters (getting things done, reminding others to get things done, pointing out how it would be in everyone's best interest to do your job in a timely and satisfactory manner) I'm pretty darn good.
I suppose I have the stereotypical interests of a horror fan: metal, serial killers, history of torture and execution, Marquis De Sade, Satanism, Paganism etc. There's nothing about my personal appearance that would indicate this though. I like to keep the conservative suburbanites around me fooled.:D
I guess that's it.
