Hey all. I'm pretty new. Over my bf's shoulder, I saw him reading stuff people posted on here. It seemed pretty interesting, and each thread has a wealth of thought-provoking opinions! I just hope I can add something coherent to them. If not, I'll just read posts and reflect on them.
I'm a young'n, only 18 and a college freshwoman trying to change my major to secondary ed/French. I really like music~right now I'm into Joni Mitchell a lot!
Well that's me!

I'm back
 

I still don't agree with the new lounge rules (or the old rules...depends how long you've been here) But I just can't stay away from you gals ;)

How are all my old friends? And a fond hello to all the new gals here :icare: glad to meet ya'll. I've only skimed through the posts so far...But I really like the feel of the place. Is Buddah is wacthing over us here? Or as Cheerios taken that roll (BTW Cheers...Nice pics ;) ) ICER told me that Daxy and Red are hitching up? Best of wishes to you two ( Take care of her Red...she's a sweetie)

As the saying goes, any friend of phred's...you know the rest.

Welcome cruisergirl!

(...and to all you other new ladies, a hearty hello as well!
More ladies at TFP is a very good thing!)

Thanks for the welcome! I should mention that I have a little 3 year old crumb snatcher myself, so anyone with kids, I guess we're in the same boat. :p

Hello!

I think I'm staying here (VERY nice place you got here!) so I guess it's time for an introduction.
I'm 25, living with my bf for a year now. I finished my study half a year ago (sort of CS for the simple ones) and started working.

No kids, no exes, not bisexual... sorry, I'm just me!
But I'm having a good time here so you'll see me around!

Oh, forgot to tell you, bf is Silvy. But you might have figured that out by now... :love:

Bye!

Hi, Im Shannon, 35 year old mommy of one. I am a technical design engineer and a message board junkie by day and a...well nevermind...by nite lol

Hey!! I'm emi, 20 years old, and a brand spankin' newbie. Just moved to boston with my boyfriend of 2+ years (druptight) and trying to put my life back together after smashing it into a thousand pieces last year. Not in school at the moment, cause i can't decide which major would apply best to saving the world. I've been dealing with depression for a few years now, but until last year i thought i was just a moody bitch. Seriously ladies, if you have any ounce of a thought in the back of your head that you might also have depression, i'm more than happy to talk about it and help you find help. Other fun facts... my favorite color is green, i have a ridiculouse amount of pride for my irish heritage, and my secret dream is to write for national geographic magazine. So if you havent figured it out yet... i'm a big dork! Okay, this intro's getting a bit on the long side, but i can't wait to get to know you all!! smooches!!!

Welcome Emi - Great to hear that your are on top of the depression wave. We all go through it often. What's your "secret"? When will you return to school? I recommend school for as long as possible. What happened last year that shattered you so badly? We truly care at TFP so share and know, you're not alone.

Best wishes & welcome aboard baby sister girlfriend!

PS - It's all Good!

Jadziadax - Where'dya get the great lingerie?

They do look familiar to me. *Wink, wink*

For all of us that have mentioned bi in some form, do you think we're normal or just curious?

Emi~
I think I am depressed but have never seeked help. I think my depression is just because of what life dealing me right now. I currently live away from my parents whom are my best friends and my Mom who is very ill and financially we are struggling. On top of things, every time I turn around, something bad is happening.
Ya, ya Think positive.....I know.
Thanks for lending your ear,

Silly >:D<

Thanks for the support, hunnychile. Trust me when i say i definitely want to be in school, i just don't think this is the right time for me... plus im broke. There was nothing specific that made me crash, i think it was just that my depression was becoming exponentially worse and finally reached the point where i couldn't even get out of bed. Thanks to my mom and my boyfriend talking about how worried they were about me and their subsequent encouragement to see a shrink, im medicated now and trying to get things back together. It's still rough, but having supportive people around who love you and watch out for your moods really helps.

Silly-
There are lots of things that can cause depression, for some people, like me, genetics causes a chemical imbalance in the brain which leads to depression, for others, like you it sounds, depression can be caused by situational problems, hurtful events and losses. No matter what the cause, it's always important to seek help. Sometimes a good friend with a box of kleenex is all you need (i'm more than happy to be that person), but if that's not enough you shouldn't be ashamed to see a therepist. I know i sound like some sort of pamphlette you see in the waiting lounge of your doctors office, but i was ashamed of how i felt and if i didn't end up finding some one to listen to me without judging, i wouldn't be okay. In fact, i probably wouldn't be alive. So try to hang in there, and please talk to someone, because there are things that can help you. Keep your chin up!
Emi

Thanks so much Emi,
It is nice to know there is an ear to listen to me. I have no friends and moved where I am 1 year ago. Things are really complicated and the friends I had....well, they were long distance and basically faded away. I am usually a social butterfly that has turned into a soft shell crab. Seeking help is not on my list to do right now. You almost feel as if they will put me on medication and thats all I need is drugs. Things need to look up in my life. I do not need my little ones to suffer because of my depression.

Thanks again,
silly

You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

:D
Silly

There are so many ways to treat depression and you Aren't Alone. So many of us have been there!

Bless you & your sweet soul! Life does improve - esp. when you ask enough questions and open up to the imformation and available treatment. Oh BTW - I did have a therapist, too for a short time. That was so great. She was like the mom I never knew.

hey hey

This IS a great place to be and Welcome! Sounds like you will enjoy time spent chatting around here. How's live around the Magic Kingdom?

C. U. Later...

I'm Candice. 35yo widowed mother of 2 girls. part time ski patrol in winter & I operate a small campground in summer.

I'm Emily. 20 year old struggling college student who still does not know what she wants to do with her life. I live with my boyfriend of one year and want to marry him and have his babies.

As far as I know, straight, but would love to try something new.

I am pretty creative- writer, seamstress, musician, and I can do some pretty cool things with spraypaint.

Hi everyone!!

22-F-MI here. Referred by someone awesome named -dev-. :D I've been looking around here and it seems great so far. Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a single working fool that loves to have fun with my friends and I'm infatuated with my nephew, who'll be 12 mos come October 25. I love to make friends and hope to do so on here. I'll be around. :)

Hello! Like some of the other ladies, I was introduced to TFP by my hubby, and finally signed up for my own name (I couldn't get on his computer often enough!). So, here I am, and happy to be here.

I am 30, have been married for 6 years, with no kids yet...

I'm an oldie newbie exploring tfp. As a child of the '60's (graduated college in 71), I'm feeling a bit old here. Three kids, the youngest now off at college and the older ones off at life. I'm a professor of History. I study the past but want to be in the present.

Grew up in a different world, where we all explored life and each other and sex in more direct ways... concerts, summer of love, protest marches. I feel a need to reconnect with the currents of life and love. What I feel around me today is both very familiar and very different from my former life. Young women today strike me as both more inhibited and more at ease than we were even as we ran naked through the woods and saw sex as an easy game in the days before AIDS.

Hey girls! SO glad to see this forum here! lol It looks like I've found a new home. ;)

Anyway, I'm 23, no kids, not married but oh-so-close to being engaged (dammit). Yall can call me Jen or Harmonia or any version of that! lol Doesn't matter to me. I have a love of Music and children. I'm a self proclaimed work-a-holic. And I suppose you could say I swing both ways but unfortunately haven't swung the other way in a bit. *pouts*

Okay! So, it's so nice to meet you guys! This place is great!

Hey Girls....I'm Amanda...here's a pic of me....

Hello, Ive already done some posting, just now occured to me I ought to post in this area as well. Im in my late 30's, lesbian, in a commited monogamous relationship, I'm an artist, former follower of the grateful dead, and about to go to Europe for the first time!

Hey there.

I'm Shannon, 30...and almost divorced. Woo!

Found these forums just yesterday through an online friend. Looks like they could really fit my style.

I manage a software engineering/test group and have a heavy interest in philosophy, gaming, and sex. (not necessarily in that order) ;) Tried the bi thing..but I'll say that I'm still unsure of the final path for me.

Anyhow... hello!

I would like to officially welcome all the new ladies to TFP at this time.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy... but don't forget the other forums out there. :)

Just remember to ask one of the Lady Mods if you need assistance (Cheerios, *Nikki*, and me - JadziaDax)

My passions are theatrical lighting and dance! throw the two together in a good show and you've got me drooling =*)
