About Awareness Ribbons

General
Gender: Female
State: Florida
A little about me: I was adopted when I was 2 years old and I have never met my biological mother. It is difficult for me not knowing my roots (medical and otherwise), something most people take for granted. I cannot just look at my family and see myself reflected in their faces/bodies, like most people can. It is extremely difficult when I see people/families who look like each other. I have been suffering with depression, anxiety, and compulsive overeating for about 15 years, since I was 10-11 years old. I have trouble with interpersonal relationships due to the depression and anxiety. I have a terrible problem with my body image which has affected my friendships and relationships. I didn't want to leave the house for a while because I was so embarrassed about the way I looked and felt. I have lost some weight but still feel uncomfortable with my body.
I recently started seeing a new therapist, I hope it helps.

Thank you so much for your note! My youngest sister is adopted and she is 9 now (I am 27). I am sure that you have blessed your family as she has blessed ours.

Hello Mishy!

I just bumped into your profile and sorry to be so "blunt" and bare in mind I am a depressed and under medication person and not a clear mind at this hour, mind if I ask a question?

Do you think your depression and anxiety have to do with the fact you have been adopted? I do ask because I am considering adoption on a near future, if I ever came out of this depression, and life gets back in place.

As an adopted child what do you think of adoption?

thanks for your opinion.

We have two girls 8 and 10 and I can't have any more children.
We would like to have another child, 1 to 5 years old, before starting primary.
