Hi Sadandalone,

I myself am sad and alone so I identify. I also identify with friends who can't empathize and I can't even mention to my Mother that I am depressed and planning to see a psychiatrist.

I'm 29 myself and it drives me crazy to be alone. At the same time I struggle with fear of even being in a relationship again for fear of dealing with another hard break up. The last one left me unemployed and pretty much homeless. Ironically I nearly moved to New Orleans a few years ago to help with rebuilding after Katrina.

I'm sorry you are feeling this way and I sincerely hope you can find relief. Through medicine if needs be. Just be sure to tell the doctors of your past experiences with those meds and your concerns. I intend to. I had some bad past experiences with meds in the myself that I don't intend to repeat.

There are a lot of good and caring people on this site to talk to. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Tomorrow is another day, hopefully a better one.
