I was, and still am, a bit hesitant about joining the Steemit community. I have had an interest in using social platforms for years now but, as with most aspects of my life, I don't see much value in what I have to contribute to the world. I still have no idea what I plan to share on this site but, hopefully, I will figure it out as I go. So, to start with the basics, I will talk a little bit about myself.
To sum it all up, I am a single overweight lesbian mother of two with Borderline Personality Disorder, who constantly battles depression and anxiety. My children are 10 (boy) and 9 (girl) and are equally the cause and cure of many stresses in my life. My son has High Functioning Autism and ADHD and my daughter is the average sassy preteen in a 9 yo body. I guess she will be an actual preteen soon enough, anyway. We have four cats and a dog.
The longest job I ever held was in the United States Air Force. I was discharged due to my BPD. That was in 2004 and I haven;t worked since. I chose to take some college classes and stay home to take care of my children. I have many hobbies that I tend to cycle through. I love Minecraft, reading and writing fanfiction and short stories, and making jewelry and candles.
My life currently consists of making sure the ids have what the need and spending most of the day in my corner, away from the rest of the world. I would love to change this. I have always struggled with my disorder, but something happened years ago, nothing specific. Life just changed so much, seemingly all at once, and I gave in to the negative thoughts and hid myself away.
I 'm not the smartest person. I'm not good with vocabulary and my grammar probably sucks. I'm not up to date with politics or current trends. So, I might use this site to talk about my journey to a better me; I may post about my latest gaming adventures; or I might show my creative side.
Cheers, I guess.
