SS: I rarely cry, and have never cried in therapy, BUT I do understand what you mean. In some ways I am similar.

I am 37 and while I had a few boyfriends in my young teenage years, I haven't dated anyone since I was 22. I am still a virgin. Except one high school boyfriend, I was never serious about anyone, and that HS boyfriend was a very young "love," or what I thought of it at the time.

So, while I may have more "experience" in that area than you, I get it. I also did not experience any abuse or any overt trauma growing up as well. I also am depressed, but "nothing" else. While I am lucky I have a job and like it (and it is one thing that I DO feel lucky for), I also feel liek my T can't really help me in being an adult like the rest of the "normal" population.

I talk about it frequently. She argues back that it is the depression talking. It is hard, and I do agree with others that it is healthy you can cry about this stuff. I can't.
