I think I know how you feel: when I was a more active participant, I sometimes felt incredibly guilty about the fact that during my more depressed times, I needed help and could offer nothing in return because I was too self-absorbed to feel that I had anything to offer. I think it all balances out in the end, and everyone here understands that. You should feel as ok about accepting help and support as you do about giving it. Why don't you report back in after your next therapy session?
