I am new to this discussion board. I am just looking for support and offering to give support where needed. I suffer from mild to severe depression depending on the day. :-) Right now I just feel stuck and confused and need some support. I feel stuck in the same rut everyday and I am unsure how to change. Hoping I can find friends and advice. Thank you!

Yes, it does seem so pointless, sometimes.......sometimes all you can do is stay curled up in a ball, but that gets you through the day.

Hi, cmu421

I just read your post and am feeling much like you. I'm not ready to post my story, but I'm looking for support, if nothing else just some to chat with. I don't know if I'll have any great advice, but I'm here and listening (or actually reading). Maybe we can muddle through with a little help from each other.

Feel well,
Jill
