Hi everyone, I'm new and thought I'd introduce myself.

My name is Christina. I've spend most of my life dealing with anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. I try to enjoy my hobbies, such as writing, reading, playing piano and singing. I'm looking forward to getting involved in the community.

Hey Masky,

Welcome welcome welcome and thank you for being here!

I hope that you're navigating the forums okay - it can be a bit overwhelming and there's lots of sections so feel free to post if you have any questions or need a hand!

Those hobbies sound very creative! What sort of books do you like to read - huge book lover here.

Feel free to post again if you want to talk or if we can help with anything 🙂

I'm a huge horror fan, so anything by Stephen King or Dean Koontz is always a plus for me.

I write poetry mainly. It can be a bit dark so I try not to share it often, for fear of criticism.

Welcome to this caring community and thanks for introducing yourself.

I too like writing and reading but am hopeless at anything musical and I often sing out of tune.

There are many interesting threads on the forum.

Feel free to ask any questions here or post when you feel like it.

Quirky.

Hey Masky,

Thanks for your post.

Apologies for the late reply! How have you been? Are you navigating the forums okay?

Ohh horror books are the only genre I've steered clear from! I saw a few horror movies when I was a kid that gave me nightmares for years so I'm not yet brave enough to read them! What did you think of the 'IT' movie?

I do like poetry though! I understand that you don't want to share it, it can be very personal! If you ever do feel like sharing it with us I encourage you too - there are lots of people who have shared their poetry here. If not that's fine too - even just writing things down can help.
