First day here. Just an introduction.

So, I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Floyd and I have issues. I suppose I have lived with Bipolar my whole life, but treated for it only a small portion of that time. I find myself also suffering from Anxiety, according to my doctor unspecified and unstable. I also struggle with Diabetes type 2 and when I am depressed, I don't really care about my glucose levels and eat comfort food all I want. Here's the thing, I am a minister of a very small but loving church community. We know that we are all broken and are quite able to openly share our hurts, fears, etc. I love to play music. Guitar, keyboards, Clarinet, and other instruments if I can get my hands on them. I have a lovely wife, 2 boys we adopted, who are now 20 and 21. They are great young men, but have had many obstacles to overcome through no fault of their own, and this has been very stressful and the trigger for many symptoms. We live on a very small portion of a big ball hurling through space at very rapid speeds. And that is just a small part of who I am. Shalom, shalom. It is great to meet you.
