Hey, my name's Jonathan - I've suffered with OCD, depression and anxiety since I was 13 years old. I've spent my whole adult life coping with the consequences of life spent dealing mental illness. While it restricts my life in many ways, I do my best to live as happy and productive a life as possible.
I come from a town just south of Birmingham called Redditch. I'm a unique, eccentric type of person. I'm friendly, open-minded, witty and a loyal, caring friend once you get to know me.
I'm quite a shy person but once I get to know someone I can open up to them and express my unique personality fully.
I like listening to music (alternative rock mostly) watching movies and television (horror, sci-fi, comedy, thriller, etc) playing video games, walks in the countryside with my two dogs, swimming, socialising, going to gigs and lots more.
I'm an enthusiastic volunteer with two local charities. I volunteer at a day centre run by the national mental health charity Mind, helping with refreshments, activities, talking to service users, etc, and I also volunteer for a local charity helping to recycle and refurbish old computers.
I'm hoping to meet new accepting, open-minded, supportive friends with similar interests and issues.
If you wish to know me better, get in touch and we can have a chat. I use Facebook, Twitter and messenger a lot, so ask me for my contact info if you'd like to talk sometime.
