I joined PC last month and can't even remember how I found my way here. I've been very lonely and hopelessly stuck in a dark depression. I wanted to hear about the lives of others living with mental illness. Sometimes I just want to get my mind off my troubles and maybe help someone else. I figured my time here would be time for MYSELF. Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry. It's a connection to the world outside of my family. And I've been procrastinating in finding a therapist.
