>>>Hi, I am totally new to "lists" and still learning how they work! My
>name
>>>>is Christy, I live in Atlanta, GA. I am currently disabled due to
>severe,
>>>>frequent migraines and daily tension-type headaches, which I have had
for
>>>>about 25 years. I worked until 2 1/2 years ago as a dental hygienist
for
>>>20
>>>>years and a massage therapist for 10 years. I am currently being
>>supported
>>>>by my father while applying for social security disability. I have also
>>>>been diagnosed with social phobia, agoraphobia, and panic attacks. I've
>>>>struggled with severe depression and suicidal thoughts for many years
due
>>>to
>>>>the constant pain and also a background of emotional/spiritual abuse,
>>which
>>>>continues today. Being supported by my father, I am totally controlled
>by
>>>>him and his influence is very negative, fearful, discouraging, and
>>>>unhealthy. I need to be in some type of psychotherapy, but he is
totally
>>>>opposed to that and I do not have the funds to do that right now. My
>goal
>>>>is to be self-supporting again somehow and I am also considering ways in
>>>>which I could work from home. I cannot sustain a "normal" job due to
the
>>>>frequency of my migraines and having to cancel the workday so often.
>>>>Currently I feel very helpless and hopeless, as if I am in prison. I
>>>joined
>>>>this list hoping to connect with some people with similar issues and
find
>>>>some emotional support. Thank you, Christy
