I agree with Lily, my depression is from a lifetime (all 19 years of it) of abuse, neglect and completly cut off from most of the outside world.
But I am still fighting, still looking for that inner peace. I've gained more from having friends here, finding my loving boyfriend here, writing here reading here. GA helped me so much, and continues to help me. People here are real, they care, and for now are all I need to keep my chin up and move on.
Jeff, Hugs to you, that must have been so hard. and so glad your getting better.
Thank you Gemma, its good to get words of encouragement and support.
I still havn't heard about the panel yet but its so good to see this thread still going.
