About Me

My No-Bullshit Bio.I was born, thirty years passed. That's when my life fell apart. I have had problems with depression since I was about 12,but a new psych problem hit me like a ton 'o bricks-my first panic/anxiety attack. The single most most terrifying experience of my life. I was sure I was having a heart attack and was seconds from death. I started having attacks on a daily basis, sometimes so intense I wound up in the ER. In a period of 6 months I lost my apartment and my car and wound up on the street. I lived as a homeless person for six months,not really caring what happened to me most of the time. Eventually I made my way to NJ and got into a shelter. I spent a year there and they helped me get on disability and get an apartment. I'm still battling the same demons, but I've become a much better fighter . About 5 years ago I had a form of nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized for 10 days. As soon as I was released, I started a 2 month outpatient program. There I was put on a different medication regimen and taught some coping skills. My life has improved quite a bit since then. I still have anxiety almost all the time and panic attacks just about every day, but I can deal with them now a lot more effectively. It's a bumpy damn ride, but I have some hope again.The good stuff-I am family-oriented, loyal, honest, supportive, pretty non-judgemental, know when to shut up and just listen, intelligent, cuddly (yeah, I get the "teddy bear" thing all the time), and fiercely protective of the ones I care for. I also have been known to be quite witty on occasion :)So here's the bulk of my life right now-I'm on disability, but sitting around all day is not my gig. Because of my brother and sister-in-law's work schedule, they need someone to help with their 5 kids, (the youngest just turned 4), so I am officially a full-time uncle. A third parent of sorts :) It's both a challenge and a joy, often on the same day. Love 'em to death.

Take on Me: Literal Video Version

I'd like to meet:

Otherwise, between being new to the area and being agoraphobic, I don't do much socializing as I'd like to, but as of late I have been challenging myself, so I'm hoping to meet some local people with common interests. I don't drink often and as for other drugs, (yes, booze is a drug), I'm a fan of the chronic, (although I only toke every few months). Anything else doesn't interest me, but I don't judge either. Yes, I'm single and looking :) Simply, I want to meet a sweet woman. I have baggage, (as you have seen), but I'm a damned good man. Great with kids, affectionate, patient, funny, smart and loving. Hey, ask my friends :)
