Bio
Well my name is Josh ( if you couldn't tell ). Things I like, well... I like spending time with friends and family ( though most of them drive me crazy ). I like traveling and visiting different city's, souvenir shopping and eating out, seeing and trying new things. I also like to stay in and chill at home watching hulu or hbo. I like anime and game of thrones. I like to play on line games also but have not been playing as much as I used to. Tera was my favorite online game.
As far as my condition, well. I suffer from sever anxiety, depression, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, self hate and self harm and have had a few psychotic episodes. Most of which have been self induced due to poor decisions on my part, but my family has had their share of influence. I do come from a broken home, though I am sure they tried their best I was left to fend for myself by age 10. I am sure you can fill in the blanks from there. I bounced around from place to place but ended up alright after my 1st mental breakdown at age 19. At 20 I had a daughter and her mother left her with me alone when she was 2 years old. It's been me and my daughter ever since. Had a few relationships but nothing lasting too long. I had been very successful in my career but do to economic changes things got rough, as if being a single father with a girl to raise wasn't hard enough.
More recently my daughter had been not doing well in the city were we lived, and with my work taking a turn for the worse we decided to relocate to a more rural area. The entire ordeal with my daughter, work and leaving the area I had spent my whole life in, was more stress then I could handle and I had another breakdown.
It seems like the move was the right idea, even as hard and stressful of a decision as it was. Work has been better, the money is better, things are cheaper and my daughter is doing better. I seem to be slowly returning to sanity. Though there are times still I have a hard time. Finding this place and being able to talk with people with similar issues who can understand has been a great help.
