forgoten just a word of encouragement to keep posting...

I hate the feeling of worthlessness and hopelessness that is a part of depression. And along with that the tendency to isolate oneself.

But please remember that those feelings are part of the depression and although they feel real they are not real. You are far from worthless. People here love you and I hope people in your "real" life appreciate you too.

The thing is that knowing that doesn't keep us from feeling worthless anyway. It is because of this illness. The best reason to keep posting here is because we understand the feelings of worthlessness that other people just can't grasp because they haven't been where we are or where we have been. So if there is anyplace that is "safe" to talk about these things it is here. So please keep posting here even if you don't have much specific to say... just to be in our company.

Thanks forgoten.
