PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. There are many knowledgeable & caring members here. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting! 
P.S. You know what they say about assuming... it makes an *** out of you & me.  So my suggestion is: don't assume anything. Get together with this lady at your next opportunity & give it your best shot. So what if it's awkward? If she cares for you, she won't mind. She'll probably even be touched. If she doesn't you'll at least know where you stand.   |
thank you skeezy for the welcome and the insight. if nothing else, this whole experience has been a real wake up call that i need to get serious about addressing my ongoing issues with depression, etc. looks like this place could play a role in that effort, so again, thanks for the welcome!
i'll have to just try to get my thoughts together, figure out an approach and as you said, give it my best shot with this girl. just even knowing where i stand would be a relief in itself, as this last week or two has been pretty agonizing. and maybe i'll get lucky and there will still be a chance with her. only one way to find out!
