About Me: Male, 42, Normangee, TX, member since Jan 2010
I am a sensitive person. I grew up in a large family, I have 7 siblings, a mom and a step dad. My father passed when I was 7. I struggled with depression as a teen. I went to college still struggling with depression. I studied fine art, and finished a 4 year degree

[More]. Then I got married and went to graduate school for fine art, and finished a masters degree. While I was in graduate school, I worked full time at a bank, and we had two children, both boys. I finished grad school in 1999, and was planning to have a career in teaching fine art at college level. That never happened. I started an insurance agency in 2000 and also became a real estate agent. I have been on that track since 2000. I am really dissatisfied with this work, and where I live. I live in a town of 719 people. I have no friends. I struggle with Depression, anxiety, ADHD (inattentive type), and suffer low motivation. I am in tax trouble/financial trouble. My marriage and kids are the good part of my life. My work life and money are the bad part of my life. I don't know how to get out: Out of this town, out of this business, out of this tax trouble, out of this mess that is my life. And "in" to a career that will support my family and one that I enjoy. I want to make art again, have actual friends, live in a city, work at a job I can like, just live a normal life.
