I feel hopeless.

jer2911, thank you. What you suggest is exactly what I need to do. I am supposed to start participating in a Psycho-Social Rehab program in January. I hope that helps me to get out of my apartment and not be alone so much.

It would be good to volunteer for something, or take a class somewhere. I've gotten so despondent that I fear trying those things.

The best of luck w/ this program I hope it does help. I had no idea things were this bad. I mostly stick to the how are you doing/feeling today threads other wise I end up staying on the computer for hours, then it's 4am! But I'm missing so much when I just stick to those threads, I wish there was some way to find a balance between the two.

Take care of yourself.

Thanks, Sidestepper, it has been rough. Coming back to PC has helped. Nice friends like you help. It is hard to find balance. I feel like I would like to check any threads that my friends start. However, it's hard to keep on top of all that I wish I could be on top of. I'm very grateful to those who read the threads that I start. I've been fragile and needy. When I'm stronger, I will try to give back.
