new

I'm new to this site, and I am glad I found it. I feel like I finally found a place where people will understand and that I can relate to. I get so angry at myself when the sadness finds me. Being able to see how others deal with it will definately be a great help. Who better to help others than those going thru it themselves. Experience is the best teacher.

I'm glad you found us too. Isn't it interesting how "sad" so quickly can change to "angry"? It's as if sad it too hard so the brain says, OK....that hurts....let's go for angry instead. I think that some of the very angriest people on the planet are really just very very sad, and are afraid to touch that part of themselves.

Hmm....maybe that means road rage is just road grief? ;-) We just need to pull over and have a good cry! Can you see it? Special lanes built for weeping? Kleenex dispensers everywhere? OK....now Emmy is getting off track.

It's great that you found us. There are wonderful people here who really understand depression, and the lonliness it brings with it. We understand that leaning on each other, and reaching out to each other really helps. Please keep posting and take care of yourself. Emmy

welcome, everyone here is really friendly and helpful.

Hi welcome to the site. Its funny that you should mention that because just the other day i was feeling depressed and i was trying to figure out why so that i could fix the problem and move on. Then it dawned on me that no one did anything wrong, which was frustrating because i had no one to blame my problems on to. But arguing is depressing anyway so it was probably for the best.

Hi Nojoy and welcome! It is always alright to have new friends! It's a very good caring place here. I hope you will like it!

And they are helpful, caring, and supportive. I hope you'll find everything that you're looking for here. I look forward to getting to know you!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I like your sense of humor about the whole road rage thing, you may be on to something.LOL. It is true though, they say that anger isn't really an emotion it is only a reaction to an emotion that we are not expressing. I guess I get angry at myself because I feel weak and vulnerable when I am depressed which can leave me susceptible to things that I normally would have control over, like drinking and being irresponsible.

Thanks,,,there is no doubt that I will be calling on you all for some help.

Thanks,,, being new is scary in itself, so all the warms welcomes make it easier.

Thanks,,, arguing with onself is the most useless thing,, but, I seem to have mastered it....I never lose, but then I never win..the loss wipes out the win...you would think by now that i would know better....

Thanks, I already like it, just knowing I am not alone and my feelings aren't crazy or rather I'm crazy make me feel better about myself. Funny how strangers can be more caring somtimes tban those close to you.

Thanks,, I look forward to getting to know everyone and them know me, I need more friends in my life, with where I live now, they are few.
