Everyone here started at some point as a new poster, and everyone moves along at his or her own speed in terms of how comfortable we feel talking about ourselves. You might want to start by telling us a little bit about yourself - just the dry stuff if you want.
Things are better for me now, but when I first started coming here, like you, I didn't have much of a support network. I live in a small town, and was very circumspect with friends and coworkers about my depression. (Basically no one knew except my husband, and I worked hard to mask things, even with him) I don't know if one of your problems is depression, but if so, it can be profoundly isolating. Sometimes the weight of trying to deal with this without anyone understanding what I was going through, was just too much.
Like others, I think it's neat that this site was recommended by your therapist.
