Hello, I was a member of this site a few years ago. I gave up trying to connect with anyone completely, and abandoned all social media sites. Anyway, I’ve been attempting to “evolve” into a better, wiser, healthier (mentally & physically) version of my former self, so I’m back! I have full-blown paranoid schizophrenia, severe anxiety and of course, depression. I also have thought broadcasting that I’ve been dealing with for 14 years. I’m 34, a mother of two boys, and their dad has been in and out of prison since 2006. I have a long list of terrible choices that I’ve learned from, I am an addict in recovery-most of the time, and I have NO close friends that I’m in contact with more than once a month or so. So, I’ve grown to be very understanding of others’ personal trials/issues, and the fact that I’m not the only person suffering in one form or another. It’s made me more understanding, but at the same time, I’ve gained a lot of courage, and I now find myself speaking out when I’m being treated unfairly. “Do no harm but take no s*** “
I’m hoping to make connections with people who genuinely understand what it is that makes me feel so hopeless and helpless and has made my life utter chaos, for the most part. The forum posts I’ve read so far have given me the idea that maybe, I’ve made the right choice by rejoining this site.
Anyway, if you’re still there, thanks for reading and enjoy your day. And don’t forget to show those you’re lucky enough to have in your life, that you care about them and their happiness and well-being.
Welcome to the forum, Failproof lady !
I think you made a typo when choosing that username. It contrasts strongly with your fighting spirit. Please contact the @moderators to get it changed !!
Peace 
Thanks, I choose this username in significance of my past behaviors and, well, failures, in all areas of my life. Anyway, I’m trying, with the “fighting spirit” becoming increasingly present wishing me. I was also, sorta hoping that I’ll look back, in a year or so, in awe of how far I’ve come, and how much I’ll have learned and accomplished…
Welcome back! 
don’t compare this forum with the other social media sites… You’ll be always welcome here.
Thank you! I won’t make that mistake again.
