Hi,

I am 37, an artist and homemaker, living in PA. I have had lifelong problems with anxiety, depression, and various other physical and psychological outgrowths. I am a surviver of child abuse. I have received various conventional treatments and therapies throughout my life, most of which I believe were actually harmful. This year I have finally reached a place where I have sufficient self-knowledge to implement self-help.

I came upon this forum last week when I was googling for help with some psych / emotional issues. I came upon Mselle's (1999!) post regarding depersonalization. I printed it out and have spent time with those tremendously helpful and lucid steps. [Thank you, Mselle, for putting that out there!]

I'm looking forward to participating in the forums here; this place seems filled with good people.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone,
