was decently popular in high school, i found i could hide behind my humor, but didnt know how to talk to girls. i had girlfriends but was always too nervous in crunch time, if you know what i mean.

found alcohol in college, i finally could say what was on my mind, but still had trouble getting over the 'hump.' and tried to kill myself with a bottle of everclear.

dropped out of college and got a job. things got better in the sex department, but never really let anyone really get to know me. had a girlfriend who was fun, and that i finally opened up to, but she had her problems too and took them out on me and i went deeper into depression. she cheated on me and i left, thank God.

i kind of straightened out my life after that relationship and was introduced to my future wife. we started dating, life was easy with her and we moved in together. she got pregnant and we got married.

after a little while, my job stressed me out too much and my depression started all over again. i was almost to the point of suicide. i contemplated it almost every day.

i finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with severe depression. i was put on pills, got a different job, and started doing a lot better.

today, i am feeling alright, i have a great supportive wife, a great three year old son who can be a pain in the *** sometimes, and we just found out were having a baby in june.

sorry for spilling all of this out here, just glad i can say all this to people who can relate. only a few people know my situation. either i dont want to be a burden or i feel some of my family wouldnt understand.

thank you for your time.
