Today I just needed to talk to anybody about anything. I think I scared off a few people.

It is interesting how even a small bit of social contact can make a difference in the day of the life of depression. I had a brief chat on my walk today and walked away smiling.
It is ok if you scared off a few people!
I hope you find a human to converse with, no offence to the email forum, real soon!

I chat with the neighbor most evenings. That's nice.

I sometimes find even an exchange of smiles with strangers gratifying.

i usually get to talk to alison, and that's nice.

havon't managed to do though since monday because she's not been well.

suppose it helps for the time i'm with her, but as soon as i leave it's like it never happened.

Even being with other people talking helps me. I don't even have to join the convo.

So moose what would be a topic of your interest?

How about it when people crowd around you to listen and evaluate "psychologically" what makes you tick? Boy, do I dislike that! Makes me appreciate my independence so much more.

Enjoy your freedom and select your friends carefully, please.

I am always here for anyone who needs to talk...feel free to post up or PM me

i doubt that you scared anyone off. If my letter to life hasn't totally left me abandoned... I think your safe lol. I would love to talk to people too. I don't though, so it's good that you are reaching out. I don't do that personally, and i pay a price for it. It's hard to tell people how I feel most the time. It's just full of pain and anxiety... I can't go on and on to someone about that. But I love to listen, and I get it.. so lets do this! Lay it on me lol.

Well, the people who are scared off are probably not worth it anyway, that's my motto. You have to be brave to interact with others. You never know what is going to come out of someone's mouth. If you can't admit that people are people and everyone needs to get things off their chest sometimes, then that's your own damn problem. LOL....

I think I used to scare people off a lot. I remember I would talk and people would interrupt me to start new conversations. I don't miss those people.

I would like to talk to people, but I'm too honest. See, besides all the medical things wrong with me, I have a life that should be on I'll say Jeremy Kyle (I don't like Jerry Springer). And sometimes I say too much. Not lies. No truth. I did go to a T for 4 months and he dismissed me because he thinks I didn't need therapy. Oh, well. Hoot, Hoot, Owl.

Your T thinks you need therapy?

No, one day I came in and had a session, and he said ""Emma, I don't think you need to come anymore. You're doing ok. I said I liked coming and he said if I needed to see him again to make an appointment or if it wasn't too big, call him. I even posted it that my T thinks I'm sane back when it happened. My pdoc was surprized.

Hi Moose, Happy to talk to you. I just got up about 10 minutes ago. I always wake up feeling anxious.

That's amazing. Even when I've been in remission I've never heard "you don't need to come anymore". We just scheduled appointments further out.

Ooh I hate that. That's usually when I've gone to bed with things on my mind and I must've stirred over them all night.

Ahoy! I don't know what I'm supposed to say, but hopefully this is sufficient... I'm usually not too social but lately I have something to say to everyone. Especially if it's not nice, but you didn't do anything to warrant that!! Hahahaah
