Lieto di conoscerla!!
And before you ask, NO, I'm not italian. I just love languages and I'll use any excuse to look up words in any language. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
I'm tina, I'm 31 and a panic/depression sufferer since I was 17 with a little post-traumatic stress disorder worked in. I get low, I get down and I get bitchy. these are the "3 moods of Tina" I like a hug when I'm low, I like a pill when I'm down and I like a strong kick in the butt when I'm bitchy. I seem to get all three here and I hope you find what you seek here too.
Hugs

For the past 15 years (I'm 30 now) I've done a halfway decent job of being positive and pulling myself up by the bootstraps--all the while not realizing what was really going on. It's been such a revelation to be diagnosed and to find out that I'm not a bad person, it's not my fault, etc. etc.
