Oh, I absolutely agree. For me, participating in all that PC has to offer here has helped me tremendously in not feeling so alone and unneeded. This site is a real blessing. I also enjoy these dragon games (see my little friends below) that I have gotten involved in - something I've never done before (chuckle). And I am creating and improving some friendships through FACEBOOK as well. I don't like to go for walks, because they make me feel worse (more lonely). But drives might be good - I like driving, even alone. And there are a lot of places I could go!

I admit that journalling seemed a mountain too high to climb while I was depressed. Since then I wrote a poem of my "Last Six Years" (under Creative Corner forum if anyone is interested). http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=90093
This was the freshest burst of creative juice for the first time in many years!
