I've gone thru my whole life having to deal with
this thing called depression and all that it encompases.
I've had many people come and go in my life, some around
longer than others. I'm married with two daughters. I have two brothers and two sisters. My father is still alive but I lost my mom 30 years ago..
This must sound more like a bio than a thread but my point is this,
I have no one in my life tuday that I can trust with my feelings.
I guess my therapist will have to do for now, at least untill I run out of money.

You can trust us with your feelings, isn't that why you're here? We'll listen without judgement and respond with sound and crappy advice, the best we can.

If I were a therapist my first reply to the above might be 'Why don't you feel you have anyone in your life that you can trust with your feelings?'

Hang in there blue...

Well, you are anonymous here and we support each other. I hope you feel able to share here also.

That's what a therapist can be great for - someone you can trust completely. I know that without my T, I'd have no one, really, and depression is not easily dealt with alone.

Your right, I can trust the group with my feelings because you guys are the only people that can really understand them.
Thank you

Thank you. You are correct. And I do intend to share a great deal
because I know I'm not the only one who feels the way I do.

You are so correct. But I can't stop thinking that my therapist
is just somebody I pay to listen to me. The TRUE friend that I unfortunately don't have.

I have to say that I identify compleatly with you. You said sometimes all we have is this site but I have to tell you if it was'nt for sites like this I probably would be in SERIOUS trouble right now. Being isolated and not able to communicate with others that feel the same as we do would is such an awful feeling. Stay strong , you helped me alot.

There is a woman with Tarot cards on 17th and Castro, that's pretty good.

if it wasn't for my facebook, i'd have never found this site.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
