I found these forums by searching for a gay, lesbian and bisexual community. I see there is much more to this site than that! I am a 24 year old girl suffering through mental health issues. Well, not suffering so much any more. I've gotten much stronger as I fight internalized stigma associated with the diagnosis of a mental illness. Aside from this I love nature (took two walks today!). I consider myself an artist, I do a lot of drawing and doodling and photography. I'm also a creative writer, doing mostly poetry but I'm getting back into short story. My other interests include journaling, reading, psychology, sociology (I got my bachelors degree in it), anthropology, fantasy and science fiction. I'm quite the Star Trek and Stargate fan! Also, I consider myself a pagan who is getting interested in Buddhism. So that makes me....oh who cares about labels. I study witchcraft, faerie lore and religion, Native American Traditions, and Celtic traditions. I hope this open confession doesn't offend anyone. Well, these are some important facts to know about me. Pixie
Its a slippery road from paganism to buddhism, next thing you know you will be engaging in all manner of zen practices. Hope you have a wonderful time on the forum.
LOL! I don't mind in the slightest. Zen and Buddhism can only be healthy for someone with my anxious disposition. Slippery roads sound like fun!
