Depression

Hi, my name is Amanda. The best way to describe myself is I'm an imaginative dreamer with wisdom beyond my years. But when I don't have my head in the clouds, I'm usually the kind of person who sees things for what they are. I usually have so many emotions on the inside that make me have a complex personality and my character is frequently misunderstood. When someone doesn't treat me right, I can be very unforgiving and hold grudges. But to the few good people left in this world, I can be one of the nicest people you've ever met. I am a very loving, compassionate person who only wants the best for myself, for those I love, and for all the suffering people and animals that need love and a helping hand. For many years out of my young life, I have suffered from depression, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, along with occasional delusions and paranoia. But ever since August 9th, 2008 I have had NO symptoms of any of these illnesses. I believe that God has given me a wonderful miracle :) I have actually known what it's like to feel normal and most importantly, to feel happy :) I can only hope that this miracle will continue so that I can lead a new happy life and do all the things I've dreamed of :) I'm here if anyone ever wants to talk about anything. Feel free to send me a message anytime :)
