Hello ^^
Hey As you can probably tell from my post count I'm new here. I don't suffer from EDS; Really, about all I can lay claim to is undiagnosed depression. I've been talking to Johnna for just over six months now and have come to realise how much her EDS, fibro and everything else affects her every day life. She invited me here so I can learn more about these rare conditions and how everyone copes.

A little more about me though I'm male, 24 years old and live in the UK. I enjoy watching anime, reading manga and browsing the net. My favourite TV shows include NCIS, House and Criminal Minds. My job is security dog handling at a couple of film studios with my faithful rottweiler "Steve" (seriously... I didn't name him lol). I lost my first rottweiler, Chad at the start of August while I was on holiday. I had been working with him for just over four years and the loss devastated me - I believe this is the underlying cause of my (undiagnosed) depression. Steve however, is a fantastic friend and workmate and has a very similar temperament to Chad so when I am not working most of my focus and energy is spent training him.

I hope I get to know you all well!

Hi!!!!

I'm really glad someone joined just for information and support. Explaining EDS is such a pain sometimes it's nice to see someone who just wants to learn!

Don't worry...I have a dog named George and another named Oscar. No dog names around here! Steve is a great name!

I have depression as well (a lot of us do actually) and we have a Depression forum if you're interested.

I'm glad you joined us
