I'm Shopgirl...I'm 32, and from Ohio. I joined this site bc I just miss being me...I have succumbed to years of depression and now I am just NUMB. It helps for me to talk with people ( and since I dont have any friends, this is a good place to go ) and I try my best to help people when I can..I miss the joys of life.....

Welcome! You've come to the right place. I've just joined the group as well and I've already discovered that this is a very warm and supportive place.

Where are you in Ohio? I taught at OSU for many years.

welcome to the forums!!!! and we've met in the chatroom previously so well i guess what im trying to say is welcome to the site overall! and btw your pic has made it to the gallery! hope to see more posts from you and see you back in the chatroom. btw check out this site more, there is some things in the forums that are cool! check out warmsoul's corner and grok talk, warmsoul's corner will bring a smile to your face and grok talk is basically an opinionated poll where you can vote, which makes you think deeply and continplate the situation. dont be afraid to relpy to anything you see on here, some people can use feedback and just want to know there are others out there going through the same thing. ok i've rambled on long enough about stuff, so again welcome!!!

Shopgirl,
I am sorry that you have experienced the isolation of depression. Most of the time, when I try to share with people some stuff, I can tell by the look in their eyes that we are in the same room but they aren't listening to me. I am sure that if I would feel that I could share some of the feelings of being totally alone on this planet of 6 billion people, that maybe it would feel better. This is a good site. I hope that you keep posting because I know that even though I haven't been posting for very long coming here makes me feel less alone.

I suppose depression is like most things. It is human nature that people are sad, sometimes. Also like most things unless you have experienced the deep, all-encompassing feeling of a deep depression you can't relate to the intense fear that you are running out of straws to grasp onto.

You mention that you sometimes just miss being me reminds me that, more and more in my conversations with people, I refer to things as happening in a past life. My life before the depression almost happened with someone different than Monty. I know in my head that it isn't, but in my heart it so totally changed my life, I also often say that the old Monty is gone forever.

Hopefully the Monty that is here now will have a little easier time of fitting in with the universe than the previous.
