Hi dear Veiled ~ It sounds alit like I used to be. I could be in a crowd of a thousand people and still feel alone. It was awful.

Finally I got into therapy and discovered that I was clinically depressed. I also realized that I'd been depressed since I was a very little girl. It explained alot of things, like why I was always in my bedroom listening to sad music -- that was the ONLY kine of music I liked. Nothing upbeat -- it had to be sad. I'd also grown up in an emotionally bankrupt home too. We got NO attention whatsoever. None.

Therapy helped me immensely. It helped my self-esteem and let me know that I was just as good as the next person -- even those kids in highschool who had all the best clothes and lived in the best houses -- YES I was as good as THEM!!!

And as an adult, I was STILL as good as the people who lived in the ultra rich part of town!! Wow, go figure. What a concept, huh?

So today, I feel much better. I DO have to be on medication because I am clinically depressed and will be the rest of my life -- but that's ok. I still feel a whole lot better cause I'm just as good as the next person and SO ARE YOU!! God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
