Ooh, I've bookmarked this thread! Awesome.
I'll start by saying that I'm not comfortable revealing too much identifying information here on the board where the whole world can see it, but if you're interested for some crazy reason, meet me in the chat room (http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/psycho-babble-open/) and I'll tell you my real name, the state in which I live, my major in school, my dog's name and breed, etc.
I'm 22/female.
I am currently attending college in the southwest, but my home is about 2,000 miles away (to the northeast), and I plan to return there in a couple of weeks.
Right now, I am an engineering student, but if all goes according to plan, in 2 weeks I will be an engineer. (An unemployed engineer.)
I don't know my current diagnoses, though I intend to ask some time in the next two weeks... I have been diagnosed with depression by multiple professionals over the last 8 years or so, as well as ADD when I was younger. I also have a self-diagnosis of social anxiety disorder and/or avoidant personality disorder.
Right now, I live alone in a dorm, though I share a bathroom with a girl who frequently forgets to flush. At home, I live with my parents, a younger brother (who is also in college), a younger sister (in high school), and my dog (we also have 2 or 3 deceased hamsters buried in the back yard). I also have an older brother who is a lawyer.
Talents? Hmm. I'm pretty good at screwing things up -- I've been told that I have something like the Midas touch, except everything that I touch turns to excrement instead of gold. In the area of useless knowledge, I memorized all the prepositions, as well as all of the chemical elements.
As for hobbies, I’ve dabbled in a lot of things, but I rarely have the commitment to get really involved in anything, and I lose interest quickly. Currently, I volunteer with an animal rescue organization.
