Hiya

I'm new around here, although not new to message boards, I love them

Anyway short bit about me. I'm 36, married, and my husband, who's 37 has SLE and Hughes Syndrome. He was diagnosed when he was 26 after a couple of strokes. mostly he has it under control but really I've come on here to look for a bit of support for me. I suffer from depression which I take meds for, have done since I was 13, I self-harm (intermittantly now after a couple of years of therapy) and I suffer from mild social anxiety disorder.

We have a gorgeous 8yr old son, and I work in local governement as a project Administrator.

My husband is lucky enough that he is well enough to work, he works for the Highways Agency as a Traffic Officer Supervisor, I think it's what keeps him sane. But after work very often he's not fit for doing much else.

I am totally addicted to Torchwood, I co run a Torchwood forum, and am a massive fan of John Barrowman. I love making icons, and writing fan-fiction.

Well, enough about me, if you have any questions just ask, I'll probably answer them

Hello Terri and welcome!

It sounds to me as if your husband is very lucky to have such a loving understanding wife (even if your therapist says you are sometimes too understanding :lol: ).

This board is a great place both for lupus sufferers themselves and their families. There will always be the odd time when you feel you need a liitle support, a kind word, some advice, a little humour or just to rant a little. All of those are perfectly normal and we are here to help as much as we can.

bye for now, I hope you enjoy being with us,
Katharine

Hello Terri,
I don't watch Torchwood but my Daughter Immi who is also a Member here loves it so does my Husband. I will admit they have a CD of John Barrowman singing and he is good, even I listen to it.
