Why did you choose the username you did?
I thought about mine before choosing it and decided Headspark because the first psych med I ever tried was Paxil, and when I quit it the withdrawals included feelings of electricity shooting through my brain, and it was intense. Since this is a mental health forum and that was my first experience with a psych med I thought what the hell, sounds like a good enough username.
Lofi and funk are both types of music I like.
I tried to join this forum previously, when it was running the old software and tried to join with the username âMrSchizophreniaâ. But it was buggy and I couldnât sign up.
I tried again much later on , and was in a better place. I was getting into trying supplements and was pretty hopeful about recovery.
But âeverhopefulâ in general sums me up for sure.
My first name was:
@scottb
But my mother found my username on a thread I made after a pdoc appointment, so the mods kindly changed it to:
@FadeToBlack
I then didnât want it, and I thought what better name than Joker! Not the recent film version, but the Heath Ledger performance was just amazing. Not saying I am that nuts, but sometimes itâs touch and go
The avatar I also liked, and it inspired me to choose this name more than anything - as I liked the art work
Well first it was ElfVikingWarriorPrincess cause thatâs what my husband jokingly calls me sometimesâŚ
Then I thought âthatâs too long of a nameâ and human popped into my head.
When I was paranoid my landlord and brother-in-law were reading my posts last Fall, I changed to Blue65. Blue because Iâm a boy and 65 the year I started elementary school. Itâs easier for me to remember that way.
My name makes no sense just like me in real life.
well my first username was yaz1, which is my altar ego haha, then i changed it to, boogaloo, it was just something clever that popped into my head, but then i changed it when the âboogaloo boysâ were in the news, it was just a coincendence the name, i wanted to change it to âliferâ after watching the movie âgreen fingersâ about a low risk group of criminals who have a community garden where they are institutionalized, there is a line in the movie where one of the convicts says, âyou part timers are always ruining things for us lifersâ and that gave me the idea for my new username.
Chose username because I read a book a long time ago about sz with that title, the book probably has no insights into the mental illness.
The Yin (é´) and the Yang (éł) are derived from the Chinese philosophical concept of Daoism (é).
Seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.
My manias and depressive episodes come in quick and strong like a wave.
Thatâs how I came up with my name.
Because they wouldnât let me have JohnHolmes or LongDongSilver.
Mine was a nickname a friend called me sometimes some 20 odd years ago. Random memory.
Because I collect metal dinosaurs and would love a golden t-rex.
My nickname as a young child was Skinny weenie. My dad called me that. Just him. SkinnyMe was close enough.
Iâll give a few options

Hmm. . .
I Decided To Change My Name From âsleepoptimisticâ, To The One You See Now.
Because Of Two Reasons.
I Wanted To Tie In The Words, Sleep & Optimistic. Merge Them If You Will.
And I Wanted To Give A Spiritual Thanks To The Band, âArcade Fireâ.
For Their Album, âFuneralâ, Which Was Released On September 14, 2004.
Almost During The Beginning Of My First Diagnosis.
Itâs Been A Long & Weary Travel.
But!, There Is Always Light At The End Of The Tunnel.
~P.s. Hope, Trust, True Love, Honesty, Joy, And Endlessly Eternal Peace!.~ 
My favorite band is deftones⌠they have a song called black moonâŚ
chordy is a sound that reaches my right brain. I suppose itâs also musical.
Mines pretty simple, I chose âThe Canukâ because im Canadian.
