Oh, if only I still had any interests....

But when I did, they included all things Joss Whedon, performing improv comedy, studying American history, writing stuff periodically.

My greatest interest now, and likely for years to come, is my surprise son, the Bugman.

I haven't been in any...

Is it pandering if I say "The Matrix"? Honestly, loved the first, was confused and saddened after the second, and cried after the third, it was so depressing. The poster for "The Matrix" has been in my baby's room since he was brought home from the hospital, along with the posters for "Blade Runner," "Star Trek," and "Star Wars."

I will watch "V for Vendetta" or "Independence Day" whenever they are on.

Since I am a chick, I have to add in all candor I will also watch "While You Were Sleeping" and "Pride and Prejudice" whenever they are on as well.

I'm a huge screaming "Glee" fan right now, so anything they've performed -- especially Kurt -- I'm all about.

Otherwise, I listen to varied stuff - Barry Manilow, Korn, John Mayer (before he was outed as racist), Rob Zombie -- pretty much anything except country.

I will read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" every year as long as I am alive.

Just finished "Band of Brothers," working on "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" as time permits.

Well, for purposes of this particular site, I'll say I'm an attorney, diagnosed with depression in 1999 and been in treatment for that ever since. Had social anxiety disorder, panic disorder and PTSD added in the years since. My father was a diagnosed bipolar paranoid schizophrenic who attempted suicide and my mother was an undiagnosed narcissic personality disorder who successfully suicided in 2003.

I've attempted suicide twice, when I was 14 and the week of Thanksgiving 2009.

I've lost two jobs because my depression was discovered or because I was coerced into disclosing it. I've tried to get help and been told -- and I am not kidding -- that I was too screwed up to be part of a clinical study of major depressive disorder.

Just here hoping to talk to others who get it, and maybe, just maybe, find a path to some serenity if at all possible. Because 40 years is too long without it, and my greatest fear is that I will be so screwed up that it will be inevitable that I screw my son up as well.
