Hi Volonau, I think that it may just be how you are looking at the situation. Socialization can occur in different ways, at different times, for different types of people. The fact that you and you...
Thanks guys for the responses. What would be the best way to contact Kitt to try to get a list of all my posts. Something that I wanted to do in coming back was to reread all of the advise I had...
;-) I hope to see more. Hey I was wondering also, if there a way that I can view all of my old posts, not just the previous 10 as is the only option I could find. I appreciate it :)...
Hey Androjen, I may have a few insights that could be of some help. Firstly I'd like to comment on your being uncomfortable with relationships, and even the thought of looking for one. These things...
thanks Jamie, I appreciate it. So where is everyone else? Hehe is there a whole new crowd now? I was hoping for a few familiar faces. I don't have time at the moment for my usual overly long post...
Hi all, I'm back because I think it is a good idea to keep working on helping myself, receiving help from others, and moving on. I have had some really crazy ups and downs since I last posted, many...
Thank you all for the welcome :). I have had medicaid suggested a few times before, that is something that I am currently looking into. What I meant by having no insurance keeping me from any sort of...
Hey everyone. I have been posting in the depression forum for a bit now, but I figured I'd finally make the jump over here. Part of my depression stems from chronic pain. Hehe if you read the...
Ohh I'd definitely love to hear about the Qi Gong classes. I have actually done quite a bit of research into Qi Gong and the various paths in an entirely practical mindset. I believe there are many...
Hi there Stressmamaof2, firstly I think it is a good thing that you are looking to work through these problems, that is always the first step. This is a pretty big coincidence, and that is really...
Wolves are a good subject for art :). Usually for my photography I enjoy landscapes, sunrise/sunset, basically anything in nature...waterfalls, mountains, whatever it is that grabs hold of me. I wish...
Most definitely, I have often thought to myself that I have far too much empathy for my own good...then I realize what that would make me. I find myself empathizing with anyone around me to the point...
Hey there jaimiee :) I found my way back finally, lol was a bit of a rough road but I managed it. How are things going for you? I wanted ask you that and find out what your doc got back to you about...
Hey Saae, I'm glad that you found your way here. For me things like the night sky, enjoying the beauty of nature...they are one of the few things in my life that bring me true joy. If you do get sick...
I have to admit that your feelings, even when so specific and detailed, are so close to mine it is truly odd. I have always been introverted, yet yearning for connection...just not your average "talk...
I have dealt some with acrylics, but not much. I do enjoy many of the surrealist pieces I've seen, especially in paint because of the blending and mixing effects that you can achieve. I ended up...
:-) It is good for me to see me back too Harrington, hehe. I need to realize that whatever my own difficulties be, that should never keep me from what I feel I was put here for. If I allow that to...
Hey everyone :) I finally got myself around the right frame of mind to come back. Sorry about disappearing for over 2 weeks, I was feeling guilty for my unloading of my problems (which I know wasn't...
Hey Wounded Healer, you are most certainly not alone in this predicament. The situations that you and vballplayingirl explained are practically mirrored in my life as well. I have always been the...
I don't know anymore, I hear "take one day at a time"...but truthfully to me that seems more like a horrible Groundhog's Day type scenario if every day is as empty as the last, if that is the case...
Yeah I hear you about the depression...I'm going down with the ship I think. I might not be around for a while, I've just been feeling more and more like maybe I should have stayed safely behind my...
-----------> see rosea thread...
Just dropping another bump on the rosea thread, I want to spread the word as much as possible. I think I might be headin out for a while though...maybe I should work on getting the planks out of my...
ECT may have some success stories but I would agree with harrington that it should be the last resort. I mean it is basically like saying, "we don't know exactly whats wrong where...but maybe if we...
Hey neverbetter, I am so sorry to hear about what you're going through. One suggestion I have that may help is when you start feeling the panic rise and your thoughts start veering in a very bad...
Thank you all for reading and responding so kindly. I do have to say, horse crazy, that you may have introduced me to one of my newest favorite quotes. I too hope that one day I can find what is...
Hey ipodearbuds, I think I may have a few things that could help. Firstly I know what it is like to have bouts of depression (usually for me its more like sporadic bouts of happiness in the...

Hi there Behindcloseddoors...in reading your posts I very much identify with many of your situations. I have had various parental issues ranging from dealing with addiction problems to the horrible...
I do appreciate the kindnesses, and I am happy to hear that I am actually helpful here. I too hope and wish that I could find the happiness, that I think all people seek, within myself. As I said in...
Hi Farbeyonddriven, welcome to the forums. From reading this i can obviously tell you are unhappy with many things in your life, that the way you look at things is not working, that the way you dealt...
Hey Husbandofill, welcome to the forums. I can't say that I have experience with this situation, but I think I might have a suggestion or two on something you could to that wouldn't be a strain on...
Hey all, I haven't posted in a while now so I figured I should. I got on the Vyvanse not long ago and that has been helping with some things. I have a little more motivation and focus now...but some...
Heya Whymewhy, sorry I'm a bit late to reply but I have been away from my computer a lot recently. What you are going through couldn't be explained any better than gut wrenching. I am 25, have had a...
Hey Depressed....I'd have to agree that I too hate the way the world works, hate the way the educational system is in that they do, at times, require people to take classes that are not needed. I...
Hey there Aurora. I think that you are right when saying that the friend who seems to not care much is not worth your time. I have been in exactly this situation a number of times due to my back and...
Hey all, just mainly bumping the thread to let more people be able to read it. I was also wondering how things were going with your doc jamiee? Good luck and I hope you find out that it does help....

Welcome to the forum forgotten angel....I am very sorry to hear about your loss and how you have been treated by the so called medical "professionals". Losing animals is a very serious thing and...
Hi there Kniajevo, I'm glad God lead you to us for help, because as I'm reading all the responses...hehe the things left to say seem somewhat few and far between. There is some really good advice for...
Hello again, when I read your post the first time I knew exactly what you were talking about because I have gone through, and still do to some degree, the very same thing. I realized this a few years...

Hey there Beachgrl, first of all welcome to the forum(you found the right place hehe), I just wanted to pop in quick before I head out to open mic tonight, but I read your post and definitely have...

Hey everyone, was just checking in again on the rosea thread. Has your doctor gotten back to you on the information about it yet Jaimiee? I'd say that if anyone wants to test if their doctor is...
Hey Liveyoung, welcome to the site and I'm really glad that you found your way to us. I know all too well and personally about depression, disconnection, and the lack of understanding from the people...
Hey everyone, I got myself up to seeing a doctor finally, and I'd have to say that it wasn't quite so horrible as I might of thought. My mom has been on depression meds for many years, and I went to...
Hey there Neverbetter, I was happy to see that your second post was much more positive than the first. With any new situation it may seem overwhelming at first, but with some persistence and even...
No need for a longer reply my friend, I am nothing but happy to hear how you are feeling now. I'd wager also that this feeling will continue, will grow, and branch into parts of your life that you...
