Depression Tribe

I'm a music theory student, pretty much. I play guitar. I'm not great, but I'm getting there. I also play bass, harp, ocarina and mandolin, and I can do a few things with keyboards and a drum kit as well.



Concerning something more on-topic with the site... I'm supposedly schizoid, schizotypal, avoidant, borderline, depersonalized, obsessive-compulsive, and mildly schizophrenic (according that what many doctors say; but they can't agree). For obvious reasons, social interaction is extremely difficult for me. While I value solitude and generally prefer that over social gatherings, I feel very lonely sometimes; like no one can understand me, and it's mostly true, due to my severe psychological difference from normal people.



I can't think of anything else to write here, really, so if you wanna know more, just ask. =)
