I can understand what you're saying. I often look back to certain aspects of life in general and wonder what happened. Why is that gone? I can't see any hope for some areas in my life, and that is depressing to me.

I haven't been here for a decade yet (wow!! kudos to you!), but it's been almost 5 years now. I have seen lots of members come and go within that time period. I've also met a lot of really sweet newer people in the last year or so too though. Some losses have been hard for me. I tend to become emotionally attached to some people for whatever reason. Losing that relationship is hard. It also makes me even more wary of putting myself out there emotionally. And that's a big drawback!

Gentle hugs sent your way.
