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.
