Middle-aged Peterborian, writer, ex-counsellor and mental health sufferer - that's me.

[Shaun_Posh]

Don't think anyone ever reads these posts, but I enjoy writing, being a novelist (but I won't talk endlessly about that). Was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder a few years ago, so I had to stop working as a counsellor. If anyone needs to talk to someone about their feelings, I would recommend paying to see a counsellor (I can recommend a couple) but in the meantime, feel free to talk to me. Male or female. I'm not looking for sex chat, so don't worry about that. I may pluck up the courage to lurk in the chat room for a short while, "listening" and "watching", but I've become more shy since my diagnoses, so please don't think I'm ignorant. Oh, and I'm a recovering alcoholic. Six years sober. And that's an achievement. Did I tell you I write books? Anyway, hope to chat soon.
