What's your name?

[cestmoiquiessaie]

Hello! I'm new here 👋

cestmoiquiessaie means "this is me trying" in French which is why I named my profile this. I have pretty severe MDD (since 2007) and Anxiety with a side of PTSD, ADHD, and Insomnia (all diagnosed by multiple psychiatrists 🤦). I have struggled a lot but I am still here. ✨

I have provided peer support in the past as a certified peer counselor in the state of NY and am open to talking with anyone who needs connection, conversation, a new perspective, or anything really.

I truly believe we who have depression are all in it together as a team (it makes it feel less lonely that way).

Sending love and good vibes always 🖤

Englebert Humperdinck the 10th

[HarryBraynes in reply to kenster1]

okay… I know who Englebert is… but… I have to ask… why have you posted it on this thread? I think I’m missing something....

[kenster1 in reply to HarryBraynes]

Well what's your reason for coming on my comment was to the poster as a joke don't see a direct response from you.what's your point

[HarryBraynes in reply to kenster1]

I didn’t mean anything rude… I was only asking so I could better understand the comment you made. I kinda figured you were joking around but it felt like it went right over my head so I guess I was asking what you meant so I wouldn’t feel left out…

[kenster1 in reply to HarryBraynes]

wasn`t sure if they meant our usernames or actual names so put Englebert down for fun.

[HarryBraynes in reply to kenster1]

ohhh i see…. now I get it…. lol… thanks!

[HarryBraynes in reply to kenster1]

originally, my username was Hairy Brains but I didn’t like the way it sounded so today I changed it to Harry Braynes. It sounds much better, no?

[Isinatra in reply to HarryBraynes]

I like Hairy Brains. Kind of macabre in a funny way. We need some humor here sometimes. 😁

[Desperate4Happiness in reply to HarryBraynes]

😂😂😂 love it!

Welcome to the group x

[Mark1499]

You have a great attitude!

[cestmoiquiessaie in reply to Mark1499]

I try!

Glad to have you and your experience. This group does help alot. I am in a coping skills group at my clinic but it is a threatening environment. The other people there have been court ordered to be there. They are anti therapist and don't think they need skills to cope with normal life. I am feeling pretty good the last few days. I've increased therapy to twice a week, back on therapeutic dose of antipsychotic and focaline so I feel pretty normal. It's been a while. Let this serve as hope for those you don't feel well today. Good days are ahead
