A new Beginning #introduceyourself
Hello dear Steemit Community,
first and foremost I would like to thank the anonymous ‘Steemians‘ who have granted me the Steem Power to even make this Post.
My Name is Kerry Ann, I am 29 years old and married. (I have a 4 year old son) We moved from germany to the philippines about a month ago. I was born in the US and lived in germany since I was 4 years old until I was 29.
After I was finished with school I did not start learning a profession, because I wanted to get out into the job market and see what profession would suit me first. So I have worked a few different jobs and had fun and not so nice experiences, but I got the chance to learn alot of different things and get to know alot of interesting people.( Call Center [insurance and embassy], Fast Food [different known Fast Food chains], Sales [a small store, that is also a chain in germany that has pretty much everything from decorations, suitcases, handbags, drawing supplies, joke items, and much more]
The last job I worked in germany was at a world wide known fast food chain and you might be laughing at me now, but from all the jobs I worked at, the job itself at that Fast Food chain was alot of fun for me. I had alot of diversity in what I was doing. Then I got depressions for the second time in my life. The total years that I suffered from depressions were about 15 years in total. Now you might be wondering why I am writing this in my introduction post, I will tell you why.
Because what I want to give to this community is the knowledge from my experiences with depressions that I have gathered throughout those years and also share some of my experiences that have led to those Depressions. I have had friends and family also dealing with depressions and also learned quite alot about how different the symptoms of depression can be for each individual. Also I have come to learn how many people are suffering from depression, some of them not even really being fully aware of what they have and why they are feeling the way they do.
I have chosen to take those 15 years of mild depression (at the beginning of my first depression) to major depression, also experiencing different types of depression and use it to help others. I know how hard it can be to deal with depressions.I also know of the hardships of finding your own way of helping yourself either completely on your own, or with a therapist.
I have never taken medication in all those years, because I saw what it had done to some of my friends and family and that is exactly why I want to help others. Some people either do not get the help they need or sometimes it is insufficient. I am not saying that the help you get from therapists or doctors doesn’t help, not at all. What I want to say is this: I have never heard of or seen someone getting better from depression without helping themselves or the help of friends and family, especially if they are dealing with additional problems. (for example selfhate, anxiety, trust issues etc.)
Also to give you a little insight on how I am:
I made this account in december last year and spent alot of time reading about Steemit and introduction posts. I also read about blockchains to understand it more. (One thing I read on Steemit about introduction posts was, to be yourself, so this is how I am and I am trying my best while being nervous, lol) Would you believe me if I said that I have been stressing about making my introduction post a good one since december last year? Well when I do something I want to do it right, because I really hope to reach alot of people who either are suffering from depression themselves or know people suffering from depression.
It is a hard and bumpy road. Some only have it for a short period of time, but I know there are more people like me, who have been fighting for years to find a way out of the pit that depressions often feel like.
I hope I can help alot of people and I hope I didn’t stress for months for nothing, hehe.
Thank you for taking your time to read this. I am very grateful to get a chance to share what I have learned over the years.
I am looking forward to get to know alot of new people and become a part of the Steemit Community.
Welcome to steem - hope you will enjoy your time here :)
Thank you :)
Glad to see you strong through your trying times ! Welcome to the steem family!
Followed You :)
Thank you very much :) If you find a way out, you will come out stronger. I am trying to help others come out stronger aswell :) And thank you very much for the follow! :)
Welcome to Steemit..:)
Thank you :)
Hello, @Rashia!! I've seen you followed @Knitrias and thinked that it was the sign!! I delegate you 25 sp so you can post more freely in these days, you also will have in a little time the possibility to power up a little more with your rewards. I'm planing to keep this delegation for 15 days!!
Tell me if it's ok with the delegation and I hope to know your thoughts about the project. :)
Best vibes for the journey!!
Thank you very much for considering me,
I have just read the project and at first it seemed very interesting.
After reading further I noticed that I would have to change my subject and my goal here completly. I came here to help people with depression or who know people with depression, although I have informed myself somewhat about blockchain and cryptocurrency to understand steemit more, I am nowhere close to being able to write about it, nor willing to change my subject and goal I have set for myself.
I am very impressed by the project and honestly I admire the goal and wish you the best of luck to achieve it, but I am not willing to change what I started this for. I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am very grateful for the offer.
No, you don't have to change your subject at all!! The subjects of the project are the impulse that made it surge, but there is no obligation to change what you want to write. As I said through Knitrias the project for your presence here is wonderful and the reason I've contacted you! In this project everybody is encouraged to write what they want and also are sugested subjects and activities for those who choose or want to try. As for the growth for the accounts it will be stablishing addecuate strategies for each one to meet the goals and these I'm sure will be no rigid and evolving accordingly with the group and time.
Hope that this help for your interest in the project. Delegation is for you to post what you wish more freely for those 15 days, but don't worry, you can decide if you wish or not to participate. I thank for you response!!
Best wishes, @Rashia!!
Okay, it was alot to read, so it seems I misunderstood some things. Could you simplify the terms for me please? Also if I have not misunderstood idealy you would like for a person to post once daily? I am not sure if I could keep up with that since I am new to blogging in general.
Thank you very much for your response! :D
Best wishes to you aswell, @leveuf
Hello, @Rashia!! Greetings from @Leveuf!! Don't worry it's a pleasure to help with the doubts. Yes, is a little difficult, there's many numbers.
There's two ways to publish in the blockchain platform of Steem: Posts and Comments. A Post is a first level publication and Comments are from second level and forth.
Two posts weekly could be ideal for the goals of this project, but one post weekly is a good number and surely there will be weeks when you make two or more posts.
The account can upvote one of your comments instead of a post, when the comment add some value to the post from other fellow author. If one day you don't publish a post but you comment in someone else you can share your comment to be upvoted by the Knitrias account.
In simple terms you have right to a daily upvote but not necessarily need to post or comment daily, you will find your pace and your time.
It would be great if you can at least upvote 5 of the fellow members posts or selected comments daily, this is in terms of the constant growth of the accounts and could take you just a few minutes. Upvoting gives you curation rewards, these also go directly to your steem power stake. You'll learn surely more about the voting and reward system with time.
I'll be publishing a post on monday with the Announcement for the candidates it will be more simple and some conditions will not be so strict. The main goal is to work through encouragement, freedom and transparency and a very basic set of rules of organization.
Hope it helps and it will be a pleasure to give more information or assist with any doubt!
Have a great day!! :)
Thank you very much for this detailed reply,
I do not think that these conditions are strict, to be honest. This fits what I was planning to do perfectly.
So, if you would like to have me as a candidate I would be willing to join the project. I love to help people and this specifically shows me a way how to do so.
One more question, I also have a comment from steem-supporter, if I join the project, am I still allowed to vote for them?
Thank you very much again for this wonderful opportunity :)
Have a wonderful day :D
Yes, you can join to any project you want, it's also desirable as my main support could be those 200 delegated sp, my voting power will require to grow also. So, you can join communities, groups, use of the tags as you wish!!
I always advice to use this pages to see all relative to your account or any other. The first is the one with most tools to operate in the blockchain, but you can check your data very well, the second contain the most fundamental information of your account or any post, comment, vote or any activity you made, the third is similar to the second one.

Thank you very very much! I will wait to hear from you again :D
Have a great day!
Hello @Rashia!! What a beautiful introduction post you've made. Definitely you choose the better way to be yourself and present a great project for your presence here. The resources that you have are from steem, the account from Steemit Inc to support the onboarding for the chain. Nobody knows for how long they keep it but if you want to keep posting a little more please just give a sign and I can help now. But appart of that resources maybe you find interest in a project that I'm about to start. Let me introduce myself and I hope to keep in touch!!
I'm Dr. Knitrias Maryana, I'm trying to develope a project with new Steemians in which creativity, cooperation and education on the blockchain will be keys for the mutual growth. I want to share with you my first post, with the Definition an Roadmap of the Project. Maybe you will find it difficult to understand but don't worry this part is mostly to gather support from other Steemians for this Group. In simple words, the project offers 200 delegated steem power to 10 new accounts to publish and cooperate with fellow members in the growth of their accounts. So is simple: Post, vote and comment, power up, the basis of almost every blockchain blog.
If you wish to take a look, here is the link: KNITRIAS PROJECT. Any doubt or comment it will be a pleasure to help. You can find me in @Knitrias or @Leveuf.
Best Wishes for the new journey and Steem On!!

Tell me more about your project
Hello @BrittandJosie!! Thank you very much for your interest in the project!! It's about helping from my resources to a group of ten new or little accounts to a faster growth to the minnow level. The inspiration of the project came from the recent situation with the blockchains and my feelling that somehow many people that has nothing to do with the problem are loosing an opportunity, even with the situation here, to create while helping a little with the difficult economies on many countries.
Also Knitrias is part of a story that I was writing in a series in the middle of the fork, I thought about the possibility to sugest to the members to continue writing different pieces of the story in as many possible lines as they want, this is the pretext to create the group but is not pretended as obligatory subject. Another sugested theme will be the operation of the platform and the diversity of aspects in the structure of a blockchain project in which everybody, myself included, has to learn a lot.
I made a first sketch of the project and I'm gathering some imputs, possible candidates and support for the project and I think in more or les one week I'll be making an official announcement with the requirements for the candidates. I share with you this Roadmap and definition of the project. It's maybe to much datailed but it will be more easy to follow in the announcement. Hope to count with your inputs and advice considering that you are one of the best and most experienced in this area of the work.
Thanks again for your attention and best winds for every project, @BrittandJosie!!
My best wishes for you and yors in this difficult times for our World!!
