I am new, although I have been lurking around reading posts for awhile. I am a 29 year old with Melancholia and a high degree of nervousness. I believe the Hypochondria and other obsessional twitches are related to the M but also as a result of early environment and constitution, as well as force of mental habit. Thoughts are insanely powerful tools that are easy to misuse and harm yourself with.
I have learned this the hard way, and am still trying to find a new pattern for myself. One that does not involve slipping into the swamps of sadness. I want to believe.
Anyway, besides being uncommonly jittery, I have always been into reading since I was little. One of my favorite books is a dense, but brilliant novel about a neurotic, inbred royal family living in a gloomy castle, and the evil, ambitious servant boy named Steerpike who is slowly finding a way to get rid of everyone in Gormenghast.
I also like anime and writing poetry.
