I want to join a forum but I'm worried about being categorized as that type of person. I have issues, I'll admit that but why am I so worried about being labeled.
I've had depression several times - it's nothing to be ashamed. The last one, several years ago, was a major episode. Lots of people (including my ex wife), that never experienced it, think you can simply smile, think positively and it'll go away, but it's not that simple.
When I look at my groups - I would say I'm a major perv. Lol, but I know and my friends know that I'm much more than that. The great thing about this site is you can remain anonomous, explore your interests, and express yourself without worry of someone on the outside knowing.
People only label things to help themselves better understand the way they feel about something so they can deal with it better it doesn't neccacerilly mean their personally labeling you ,but the way I think about it is that noone else has to understand you as long as you understand you ,you shouldn't have to explain anything to anyone else unless you want to ,just be yourself and if someone else dont like it or understand something about you then oh well it they dont have to ,as long as your ok with you ,dont worry about what they think or say dont let them get to you girl stay on the high road and dont ever let them bring you down.

Well, you know you better than anyone else does. Why beat yourself us judging yourself?
Just be who you are and revel in it. It's truly liberating x
