Hey guys and girls. I realize it has been quite some time since I've been on VT so I thought it would be nice to reach out to current active users.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Adam. Male. 21 years old (...and suddenly I feel so old...). I originally joined VT at the age of 19 looking for some advice, and perhaps answers about myself. I attend the University of California: Davis. I am pursuing a bachelors degree majoring in Psychology and minoring in Managerial Economics.
I have been consistently battling moderate depression for almost 2 years. I've even begun to question if I may be bipolar. There have definitely been some hard times for me and I have only recently been able to get a grasp on how I can manage it.
I wanted to come back and get more involved in the VT community because I completely forgot that my recent battles were perhaps quite similar with many individuals who happen to browse these forums.
I realize now that I am fortunate to undergo these events as a young adult. I can only imagine how much more magnified my feelings of despair, inadequacy, confusion, or desperation would have been if these experiences occurred during my early stages of adolescence rather than the later stages (raging hormones?).
I would like to reach out to those of you seeking answers, advice, and support. I may not be a certified psychologist, but my studies have made me resourceful in all aspects of psychology. My experiences have only made me wiser about my decisions and my sense of self.
Best of luck to you all.
