Welcome needwaves, sorry my welcome is late, I just had my internet changed over to a better services, so I was without for a bit.

There are plenty of groups to help you here as well. If you go to the green bar on top of page, and hit online support groups, it will bring up general stuff, but if you hit the letters, it will give a list of all that are under that letter.

Again, welcome, I'm glad you found us.

Feel free to start a thread and interject into other threads, titles of conversations, threads are the names of them, and sit back and relax, this is a very friendly group.

Hi, needwaves!! I got your message. Glad you found our forums and discussions. I'll look forward to hearing more from you.

Best out to you always,

.....this is called a "Lady Leek". I don't know if there is a "Gentleman Leek"!?!

I am not an MD or PhD psychiatrist. In college as a mathematician and teacher, however, I did receive intensive training to teach upper level mathematics and computational science - a hard and confusing subject for most. Through my foundation, I currently advance a project for "Outreach to the 'I HATE MATH' At Risk Groups". You may also check for my mathematics & computational sciences commentary and writings on LinkedIn.

I've worked many years in the field for public health including my current time as a volunteer with the New York State Department of Health. All this does really help me to reach out and to closely "listen" to what MDJ members have to "say" about themselves and about how their lives are going.

During the years when I worked as an industrial scientist, I worked in the medical research department as a statistician and computer expert and was on the team that created the world's most widely used CAT and MRI technologies. I evaluated and then designed the software systems used for the HD imaging scanners.

I qualified for membership in MENSA's upper third in 1968 when I was 16. Mostly, it's been more trouble than it's worth. I've tried all my life to use those gifts given me to help the world. I truly hope you will feel you can always trust me and know you can contact me whenever you need to with whatever health or mental health issues or needs you have!!
