I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to...but I do get trapped with the way I think. I get more worried than depressed. And the worry wears down and the depression can set in.

Most of my therapy revolves around having someone to talk to that I can be totally honest with and get the anxiety out of my head, look at it and find ways to deal with it.

I have a better understanding of why I react to things the way I do - understanding myself has been very important - I have very few people in my life that really understand me. I'm easy to get a long with, funny and social...but then not too many have gotten deep with me...and some do not want to and cannot handle it. Many times I "appear" to be a happy person...and sometimes I am... over time I have been gotten pretty good at hiding my sorrow - It's alway a work in progress!

Tell us more about you and what you are going through.
