A lecturer at Uni. They see the potential in me when I can't see it in myself.

How to fix BPD & other related issues.

I am grateful that something fantastic worked out for me after taking a leap of faith and hoping for the best.

Hi Doris. Thanks for the welcome. Yeah my nickname does have to do with sharks. I used to race jetskis & there was a guy in the club who kept taking the mickey out of me so I waited unitl 1 day when he had his back turned whilst waist deep in water & I swam up & bit him on the leg & he just about soiled his pants. From then on they called me Shark boy which got shortened to Sharky.

@Hi @Summer. Wow, nice places. On the "other" side of the Rockies. 🙂
I have skiied once in my life and have never snowboarded. I expect to be living in Calgary for a while next year so hopefully I'll get a chance to learn then!
Ah wow I just noticed your picture - I LOVE Dory. That has got to be one of the best feel-good films ever. Sometimes I'd love to have a 3 second memory....although it could be inconvenient!!
Yeah I really like animals. I like obscure animals like penguins, lemurs, snow leopards and ocelots. But I adore cats. I used to have 2 cats, now I have one but I've only just been able to touch her in the past year after years of OCD taking over - so I feel so privileged to be able to engage with her now.
Pierced - does it hurt to stretch your ear lobes? I've always wondered that. I've only got one piercing per ear.
Yeah I found this via google - I was searching for support with several issues I have. I liked the feeling of it so decided to register!
Thanks for the welcome.
