Dearest Newhope,
I to have trouble trusting people with information about my childhood, it is like it is to precious to let just anyone handle the pain that it has left in your heart. Depression is one of those things that just drains the life out of you. You think you are living everyday to the fullest then all of a sudden you look back and realize that you have spent the last month doing nothing but feeling miserable, and you don't know what to do to change it. It just comes on so slowely and yet so quickly. I hope that I am not putting words in your mouth that arn't true, I just know what I have experienced and I know how much depression can take over your life and make you feel like you are walking around in a bubble. But know that I am here for you when ever you need to chat.
Take care hun,
Melstar
