Welcome Roadrunner (love that cartoon!) You have definitely come to the right place. I've tried other sites and this one covers everything you can think of and everyone is very supportive. If nothing else, it sometimes helps to see that others are going thru the same thing... for me personally I understand what's going on with me so much more. sorry about all the losses you have had....mel80 is right - you seem very resilient! BTW I'm 52 and was diagnosed with depression back when I was 30. Now bipolar and schizoaffective taking one step at a time.
