Shy Girl,
Thanks so much for what you said. It means a lot - I still struggle some days with being unsure if I'm "good" for others to be around, 'cause I can have a sharp tongue. I am working on patience and gentleness - letting them come out, and so you made me feel like I'm succeeding. If I can't be kind and reasonable with people, well, that's not the life I want to live. So, it's important to me - the feedback :-)
It's hard to be depressed for long stretches. I have MDD myself, but I haven't had a "major" episode for quite a while. But even the little ones can be pretty awful. If we can help at all with all the "junk" that goes on with depression, please post about how you feel. Babblers seem to be the best at understanding every thing about it! I know it helps me.
Hang in there. I like your attitude about learning, too. I think it's so important to help give you a purpose if you ever feel like "what's the point?" Depression is quite good at bringing on those bad thoughts! Learning, growing and Babbling can BE the point!
