I am happy to have found this site. A little background: I have been treated for depression for 17 years more or less, including 10 years of excellent counciling and 13 years of medication. I'm 41, a kindergarten school teacher and single.
Ok, I know this isn't a dating website. I mention being single because a part of my depression is feeling anxious in social situations. I automaticly (mistakenly) assume I won't be wanted. That I'll be found unacceptable and a burden. As part of my work with the Depression Center I hope to get this thought out of my brain, increase my social circle of friends and maybe even (oh-my-gad!) Gulp! -- meet a significant other. And yes, tons of fear crept in as I typed that last part.
That beginning will do!
I look forward to learning, supporting and sharing with you all.
